Aix CoD VET licensed

 How much memory or CPU will that CoD code activate anyway?

 

 

This little tip was passed on to me by a friendly IBM hardware engineer many years ago.

 

When entering a capacity on demand (CoD) code into a Power system, you can tell how many processors and how much memory will be activated, just by looking at the code you’ve given by IBM.

 

For example, the following codes, when entered for the appropriate Power system, will enable 4 processors (POD) and 64GB of memory (MOD). I can also tell* that once the VET code is entered, this system will be licensed for PowerVM Enterprise Edition (2C28).
