Learn why you might need to activate inactive resources, and learn how to activate those resources.
If you are upgrading from a server that is enabled for Capacity on Demand (CoD) and you have standby processors that are not activated, activate all these processors before upgrading your software or server. CoD offers you the capability to dynamically activate one or more central processors or memory units of select models temporarily, permanently, or on a no-charge trial period.
To activate inactive resources on a System i® model, see Capacity on demand.
