In this section, the term "temporary capacity" will be used to refer to the common functionality of both Temporary Instant Capacity
and Instant Access Capacity.
and Instant Access Capacity.
Temporary capacity provides a means to temporarily activate more cores than there are usage rights in a complex, enabling
Customers to meet short-term peaks in demand without having to purchase a permanent usage right. This temporary activation is
available in increments of processor core days and is called temporary capacity.

A "processor core day" is 24 hours (or 1,440 minutes) of activation for one processor core, and includes:
hardware activation of the processor core,
an HP-UX DC-OE or OpenVMS MCOE license,
an HP Virtual Server Environment license,
a license for all standalone products included in HP-UX DC-OE, OpenVMS MCOE and the Virtual Server Environment Suite,
hardware support for the processor core, and
software support for the included software licenses.

software support for the included software licenses.
A processor core day can be consumed by activating a single core for 24 hours, two cores activated for 12 hours, four cores
activated for one hour a day for six days, and so on. The core can be turned on and off until the 24 hours is consumed. There are
currently two ways for Customers to acquire temporary capacity:

Instant Access Capacity, or "IAC", is included with every Instant Capacity processor core and consists of 5 processor core days
of temporary capacity.
Temporary Instant Capacity, or "TiCAP" consists of 30 processor core days of temporary capacity, and is an optional add-on

Temporary Instant Capacity, or "TiCAP" consists of 30 processor core days of temporary capacity, and is an optional add-on
that can be purchased for a complex containing Instant Capacity processor cores.
Temporary capacity is applied at the complex level and can be used to activate any Instant Capacity processor core(s) on all active
cell boards within the entire system. Temporary capacity is very similar to a phone card – just as you need a phone to use a phone
card, you must have Instant Capacity processors to use temporary capacity.

Temporary Instant Capacity is applied to the Instant Capacity system via a Codeword and tracked locally by the Instant Capacity
Software. No connection to HP is required, and the balance is prepaid. As Instant Capacity processor cores are activated, the Instant
Capacity Software decrements the available temporary capacity balance stored in system inventory.

Tracking granularity is in 30 minute increments (activating one processor core for 1 minute will consume 30 minutes of temporary
capacity on the system). How quickly temporary capacity is consumed depends on how many Instant Capacity processor cores are
activated and for how long.
capacity on the system). How quickly temporary capacity is consumed depends on how many Instant Capacity processor cores are
activated and for how long.
When Instant Capacity cores are activated temporarily, the Instant Capacity Software will summarize when the temporary capacity
balance will be depleted at the current consumption rate. The software will also notify a user-defined email address once there is a
certain number of days left, based on a customized setting in the software. This allows the Customer to take necessary action when
the temporary capacity balance is completely consumed.

the temporary capacity balance is completely consumed.
Once the Temporary Instant Capacity balance is depleted, the Customer must take one of the following actions:
deactivate the temporarily activated Instant Capacity core(s),
apply additional Temporary Instant Capacity to the system, or
purchase usage rights to permanently activate the core(s).
apply additional Temporary Instant Capacity to the system, or
purchase usage rights to permanently activate the core(s).
If the temporary capacity balance reaches zero and Customer continues to use the temporarily activated processor cores the
temporary capacity balance will go negative and continue to accrue. On the next reboot of any partition in the complex the Instant
Capacity Software will automatically deactivate as many temporarily activated processor cores as is necessary to either stop
