Moving Hardware
iSeries server to iSeries server interchange of processor and/or package features is iSeries system password
protected. iSeries server to iSeries server interchange of processor and/or package features outside IBM standard
practices and procedures, may void the server warranty or service contracts.
Any unauthorized (Non IBM conversion/upgrade) movement of processor features (processor parts) and/or package
features (capacity card) will disable any previously activated/enabled standby processor capacity.
Any physical addition/removal of processor features (processor parts) and/or package features (capacity card) that
results in an invalid configuration will make the server itself unusable (server will not IPL without a valid
configuration).
Parts resulting from the fulfillment of an order for a processor conversion are directly tied to a target server (serial
number), the parts are not transferable
to a server with a different serial number. Installing the parts on a server with
a different serial number is not supported by IBM.
Adding/Removing just the Processor Feature
(Processor Parts)
A) Non-CUoD Models: Removing hardware from machine "A" and putting them into machine "B":
NOT POSSIBLE TO GET A VALID CONFIGURATION on MACHINE "A" WHEN ADDING ONLY PROCESSOR PARTS (machine will not IPL)
B) CUoD Models: Removing Hardware from machine "A" and putting them into machine "B":
NOT POSSIBLE TO GET A VALID CONFIGURATION on MACHINE "A" WHEN ADDING ONLY PROCESSOR PARTS (machine will notIPL)
Adding/Removing just the Package Feature (Capacity Card) ....... or .....
Adding/Removing a Processor Feature (Processor Parts) with associated Package Feature (Capacity Card)
A) Non-CUoD Models: Removing hardware from machine "A" and putting it into machine"B":
1) If machine"B" ends up with a
valid
configuration and it's
original
serial number ...
then machine "B" will IPL with 100% of the installed processor capacity as well as 100% of the function associated
with the Package Feature (Capacity Card)
NOTE: the machine will IPL in 70 day bypass mode and a new system password will be required (because the hardware changed)
2) If machine "B" ends up with an
invalid
configuration (not something that could be ordered in the iSeries configurator) ... then
machine "B" will not IPL
B) CUoD Models: Removing hardware from machine "A" and putting it into machine "B":
1) If machine"B" ends up with a
valid
configuration and it's
original
serial number ...
then machine "B" will IPL with 100% of the start-up processor capacity, 0% of any previously activated standby processor capacity, and
100% of the function associated with the Package Feature (Capacity Card)
NOTE1: the machine will IPL in 70 day bypass mode and a new system password will be required (because the hardware changed)
NOTE2: To refresh previously purchased activations, a maintenance action would be required to replace the Capacity Card
and recieve a refreshed set of Activation Codes from IBM Level II (Activation Codes will not be provided if the Serial# of the
Capacity Card being returned as part of maintenance action does not match the Capacity Card Serial# stored in the IBM
machine records reviewed by Level II)
NOTE3: To purchase new activation/enablement features, a maintenance action would be required (if not done for NOTE 2) to replace
the Capacity Card and then an order would have to be placed in the iSeries configurator for theproper features
2) If machine "B" ends up with an
invalid
configuraiton (not something that could be ordered in the iSeries configurator) ... then
machine "B" will not IPL
Exchanging an Entire Server
A) Non-CUoD Models: Machine will IPL with 100% of installed processor capacity as well as 100% of the function associated with the
Package Feature (CCapacity Card
B) CUoD Models: Machine will IPL with 100% of startup processor capacity, 100% of any previously activated standby processor capacity, and
100% of the function associated with the Processor Feature (Capacity Card)
NOTE: To purchase new activation/enablement features, an order would be placed in theiSeries configurator
