Displays the current state of Utility CoD on your managed system. When the state indicates Reporting Required, then Utility CoD usage reporting is required because the number of unreported Utility CoD processor minutes has reached the Utility CoD reporting threshold. When this happens, you must report your Utility CoD usage as soon as possible to ensure continued availability of your Utility CoD processors. To report your usage, you must first get the Utility CoD reporting information for the managed system using the HMC. Next, enter the Utility CoD reporting information at the CoD website to obtain a Utility CoD reporting code. Finally, enter the Utility CoD reporting code on the HMC. You must report your usage within 30 server power-on days of reaching the Utility CoD reporting threshold and prior to reaching the Utility CoD reporting limit. Otherwise, all Utility CoD processors will be removed from the default shared processor pool and Utility CoD will be disabled on the managed system.
Possible Utility CoD states are:
Available
You can activate one or more of your inactive processors using Utility CoD.
Available - Reporting Required
Same as Available except Utility CoD usage reporting is required.
Running
One or more Utility CoD processors are currently activated on your managed system.
Running - Reporting Required
Same as Running except Utility CoD usage reporting is required.
Suspended
Your managed system is enabled for Utility CoD. However, you cannot activate any inactive processors using Utility CoD at this time because the Utility CoD processor minute usage limit that you set for your managed system has been reached. If you want to activate Utility CoD processors, you must disable or reset the Utility CoD processor minute usage limit.
Suspended - Reporting Required
Same as Suspended except Utility CoD usage reporting is required.
Not Available
Your managed system is enabled for Utility CoD. However, because one or more of the following conditions exists, you cannot activate any inactive processors using Utility CoD at this time:
- No inactive processors are available on the managed system.
- Trial CoD for processors is currently running on the managed system.
- On/Off CoD for processors is currently running on the managed system.
- There are unreturned Trial CoD processors on the managed system.
- There are unreturned On/Off CoD processors on the managed system.
- The managed system does not support micro-partitioning.
- The managed system is in the manufacturing default configuration.
Not Available - Reporting Required
Same as Not Available except Utility CoD usage reporting is required.
Code Not Entered
Utility CoD is not enabled on your managed system. You must obtain a Utility CoD enablement code at the CoD website and enter that code on the HMC before you can activate any inactive processors using Utility CoD.
Disabled - Reporting Required
Utility CoD has been disabled on your managed system because Utility CoD usage has not been reported as required. Utility CoD is disabled when one of the following conditions exists:
- The number of unreported Utility CoD processor minutes has met or exceeded the Utility CoD reporting threshold for 30 or more consecutive server power-on days.
- The number of unreported Utility CoD processor minutes has met or exceeded the Utility CoD reporting limit.
If you want to activate Utility CoD processors, report your Utility CoD usage and request a new Utility CoD enablement code at the CoD website. Enter the Utility CoD reporting code first on the HMC, and then enter the Utility CoD enablement code.
Not Capable
Utility CoD is not supported on the managed system.
