Ordering PowerVM Editions features

POWER7 information

Ordering PowerVM Editions features

You can order PowerVM® Editions features for a new server, a server model upgrade, or an installed server.

For a new server or a server model upgrade, your order can contain one or more PowerVM Editions features, resulting in a single PowerVM Editions code. In this case, the PowerVM Editions code is entered before the server is sent to you.

When you order PowerVM Editions features for an installed server, determine which PowerVM Editions technology you want to enable and then order the associated features. A single PowerVM Editions code will be generated for you to enter that enables all of the technologies that you ordered.

Perform the following steps to order one or more PowerVM Editions features:

Determine which PowerVM Editions features you want to enable. For more information, see PowerVM Editions concepts.
Contact your IBM® Business Partner or IBM sales representative to place your order for one or more PowerVM Editions features.
Enter the resulting code on your server to enable PowerVM Editions . See Activating PowerVM Editions for more information.

Power Enterprise Pool compliance

POWER7 information

Power Enterprise Pool compliance

When you share Mobile Capacity on Demand (CoD) resources among servers in a Power® Enterprise Pool , the pool must be in compliance with your CoD licensing agreements.

The resource entitlements for the pool are procured through your CoD licenses, which include a grace period for overuse of these resources. The resource entitlements for the pool must synchronize with the actual usage of those resources. You can temporarily overuse the Mobile CoD pool resources. However, the grace period in your licenses restricts this overuse. When resources are in use beyond the grace period, those resources are overdue and the server is out of compliance with the CoD license. Compliance policies for the Power Enterprise Pool are based on your CoD licenses and these policies enforce resource availability and usage restrictions for the pool.

The Mobile CoD resource compliance of the servers in the pool determines the compliance state of the pool itself. A server is in compliance if the server does not have any unreturned Mobile CoD resources.

A Power Enterprise Pool can have one of the following four compliance states:

In compliance: None of the servers in the pool have any unreturned Mobile CoD resources.

Approaching out of compliance (within server grace period): At least one server in the pool has Mobile CoD resources that are unreturned, and the server grace period for those resources is unexpired. None of the servers in the pool have Mobile CoD resources that are unreturned and overdue.

Out of compliance (within pool grace period): At least one server in the pool has overdue, unreturned Mobile CoD resources and the pool grace period is unexpired.

Out of compliance: At least one server in the pool has overdue, unreturned Mobile CoD resources and the pool grace period is expired.

A Mobile CoD resource becomes an unreturned resource under the following conditions:

You remove the Mobile CoD resource from a server, but the server cannot reclaim the resource because that resource is still in use. For example, the resource is assigned to one or more partitions. You must remove the partition assignments to enable the server to reclaim the resource.
You remove a Mobile CoD resource from a server that is not connected to the master Hardware Management Console ( HMC ) of the pool.

When Mobile CoD resources that are removed from a server become unreturned, a grace period timer starts for the unreturned resources on that server. There is a separate grace period timer for unreturned Mobile CoD processors and for unreturned Mobile CoD memory on each server.

Before a server grace period expires, you must release the unreturned Mobile CoD resources and make them available for the server to reclaim. If a resource remains unreturned after the end of the grace period, the pool is out of compliance. When the pool moves to the out of compliance state, a new grace period timer starts for the pool itself. There is only one grace period timer for the pool. If any servers have overdue Mobile CoD resources when the pool grace period expires, add operations for Mobile CoD resources are restricted to servers with unreturned Mobile CoD resources. This restriction is enforced until there are no servers in the pool with overdue unreturned Mobile CoD resources.

When a server in a pool is out of compliance, or the pool is out of compliance, console messages are displayed on the HMC s that manage the pool.

To view compliance information for a Power Enterprise Pool , complete the following steps:

From the master HMC for the pool, select Systems Management > Power Enterprise Pools .
In the left navigation pane, select the pool name and then select Compliance Information .

Resolving compliance issues

To avoid compliance issues, ensure that Mobile CoD resources are released on a server before you remove the resources from that server. Also, do not remove Mobile CoD resources from a server that is not connected to the master HMC for the pool.

If you want to overuse your Mobile CoD resources when migrating partitions, ensure that all Mobile CoD resources removed from the source server are released and reclaimed by the source server as soon as the migration completes. If the migration fails, immediately remove the Mobile CoD resources added to the destination system and add them back to the source system.

You can resolve unreturned Mobile CoD resources in any of the following ways:

Migrate a partition to another server. After the partition migrates successfully, any resources that are assigned to the partition on the source server are reclaimed automatically.
Remove resources from a running partition by using the appropriate dynamic logical partition (DLPAR) task.
Remove resources from a shutdown partition.
Delete a partition to release resources that are assigned to that partition.
Activate Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD), On/Off CoD, or Trial CoD resources.
Add Mobile CoD resources to the server.

Note: When a server is powered off, any unreturned Mobile CoD resources are reclaimed automatically by the master HMC for the pool.

If the server is not connected to the master HMC for the pool, you must establish a connection from the master HMC to that server. After you reestablish the connection, if any unreturned Mobile CoD resources remain on the server, take one of the previously stated actions to release them. If you cannot reestablish this connection, you can add Mobile CoD resources to the server to resolve the unreturned resources.
