representative.
COD CPU Activation
When you purchase a COD Hardware Activation Option, Fujitsu sends you a COD
permit, which includes a COD key in the form of text lines. You install that key into
the COD database, which then allows you to activate the number of COD CPUs
specified in your order. The COD database is stored in nonvolatile memory on the
Service Processor. Servers with multiple Service Processors support COD database
failover.
Note – The XCP 1101 firmware release introduces support for unlocked COD keys,
which are not assigned to a server's individual Chassis HostID. The new type of
COD keys include the word “UNLOCKED.”
Any old-style keys in your COD database will continue to work, even when new-
style keys are also present.
COD Activation Log
To display the COD activation log, which contains a record of additions and
deletions of COD permits, use the showcodactivationhistory(8) command. See
the showcodactivationhistory(8) man page.
