7.11.1 CPU Activation key application conditions


7.11.1 CPU Activation key application conditions
  1. The unit of a CPU Activation key is two cores, and you can register any CPU Activation key individually with a purchased, borrowed, or leased SPARC M10 system. The key makes available the two CPU cores, which are assigned in units of a single core to a physical partition.
    Use the XSCF to add a CPU Activation key, and then you need to set the number of CPU Activations in the physical partition. As a result, you can assign CPU core resources.
  2. Each CPU Activation key can be registered with only one SPARC M10 system at the same time.
  3. Once registered with a SPARC M10 system, a CPU Activation key can be deleted from that system and then registered again with another SPARC M10 system.
    If a SPARC M10 system has stopped functioning, you can register a CPU Activation key of the stopped SPARC M10 system with another SPARC M10 system, without deleting the key from the stopped system.
  4. The number/type of software licenses used with the licensed CPU cores differs depending on the software. It is the responsibility of the customer to confirm that proper software licenses are installed for the addition of licensed CPU cores.
