Ordering Permanent Capacity
Once you have determined that you want to permanently activate some or all of your standby processors, you
must contact your IBM business partner, IBM Sales rep, or visit IBM.com (US only) to place an order for
the purchase of a POD Activation Feature (one or more).
Once an order reaches the IBM manufacturing site, a POD Activation Code unique to the target server is
generated, mailed, and posted at the following web-site for quick access:
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/ondemand/cod
Several days should be allowed for order processing and the resulting POD Activation Code posting to take
place. This is an important consideration when determining if you should also enable your server for
temporary capacity.
