PPU Terminology
The following terms are commonly used in conjunction with PPU:
configured processors
Processors that have been configured at the boot 
interface and are now available for activation.
deconfigured processors
Processors that have not yet been configured at the 
boot console interface (BCH). The iCOD software 
cannot activate a processor that is deconfigured.
hard partition
A physical partitioning of a computer that divides the 
computer into groups of cell boards where each group 
operates independently of the other groups. A hard 
partition can run a single instance of HP-UX or be 
further divided into virtual partitions.
iCOD
The HP On Demand Solutions product that has a 
pricing model based on purchasing processors. With 
iCOD (instant Capacity On Demand) you initially 
purchase a specified number of activated processors 
and pay a right to access fee for a specified number of 
deactivated processors. Whenever you activate an 
additional processor you are charged an enablement 
fee.
inactive cell
On a hardware-partitionable system, a cell that is 
either powered off, or in a state prior to BCH, defined 
as “waiting on SINC_BIB”.
inactive partition
A partition where all of the cells in the partition are 
inactive.
