[mrmo07]

i have codeword to activate unused one cell board, 64 gb RAM and 4 dual core processor.

how can i activate using codeword???

Mohammad,

If you have a codeword, you presumably have the email from the iCAP portal which tells you how to apply the codeword.

Anyway,l you simply run "icapmodify -C "

This will make the cell-board available, you can then use the usual parmodify commands to add the cell board to a partition.

Hi,,

As per your nickel o/p, u have partition 0 configured. so once you applied the ICAP lic, then do the parmodify to add the new cell board, then reboot the system with "shutdown -Ry" command.

Thanks,
Shan.

Hi,

plz find the attach file. you can see icap status command output and advice what should be my exact parmodify command.

do i need to do anything for processor and RAM or it will activate automatically with cell board. ??

Morshed.

Hi,

Run the command "parmodify -p 0 -a 1:base:y:ri". Then you need to reboot the system with "shutdown -Ry 0" command. so it will add the cell board 1 in to the existing Npar. You will be able to access the CPU and memory on the new cell board.

there is no seperate command to activate CPU or memory.

Regds,

thanks all. i have activated icap.

as my cell was already assigned to partition
command was parmodify -p0 -m1::y:ri
