6.11.3 Registering a CPU Activation key


6.11.3 Registering a CPU Activation key
CPU Activation keys are provided on the CD-ROM labeled "SPARC M10-4 CPU Activation" supplied for system deployment. Have the CD-ROM on hand before registering a CPU Activation key.

The CPU Activation keys are contained in text files in the "ACTIVATION_KEY" folder on the CD-ROM. A file for registering the keys as a batch (XXXXX_XX.TXT) and another for registering them one at a time (XXXXX_XX_001.TXT, etc.) are provided. Use either file according to the situation.

The methods of registering a CPU Activation key with the system are as follows: specify and register the CPU Activation key file; or copy and paste the CPU Activation key contents.
How to specify and register the CPU Activation key file
  1. Copy the "ACTIVATION_KEY" contents on the CPU Activation key CD-ROM to a USB device.
  2. Connect the USB device to the USB connector (where "MAINTENANCE ONLY" is printed) on the XSCF unit panel (rear panel) of the master XSCF.
  3. Register the CPU Activation key by executing the addcodactivation command from the storage location of the key.
    The following example specifies the "XXXXX_XX.TXT" file on a USB device to register CPU Activation keys.
XSCF> addcodactivation -F file:///media/usb_msd/XXXXX_XX.TXT
Above Key will be added, Continue?[y|n]: y
.......... done.
successfully added Activation Key count : 10.
  1. Execute the showcodactivation command, and confirm that the CPU Activation key is registered with the system.
XSCF> showcodactivation

2 PROC 2
3 PROC 2
4 PROC 2
How to copy and paste the CPU Activation key contents
  1. Insert the CPU Activation key CD-ROM into the system administration terminal.
  2. Open the ACTIVATION_KEY folder on the CD-ROM.
  3. Open the relevant file (XXXX_XX_001.TXT), and copy the contents of the key.
  4. Execute the addcodactivation command to register the CPU Activation key.
    Specify the CPU Activation key by enclosing it in double quotation marks. You can enter the CPU Activation key by copying and pasting all of its contents.
    Enter "y" for the confirmation message.

    In the following example, a CPU Activation key for two CPU cores is registered.

At this point, CPU core resources are not yet ready for use on Oracle Solaris.
To make CPU core resources ready for use, go to "6.12 Assigning CPU Core Resources" to assign them to a physical partition.
