Viewing and saving PowerVM Editions technologies code-generation information

You can view and save PowerVM® Editions code-generation information using the Hardware Management Console (HMC). You might need to do this if the PowerVM Editions code that was provided for your server does not work.

You can view PowerVM Editions code-generation information, and then save it to a file on a remote system or to a file on removable media. The information used to generate your PowerVM Editions codes must exactly match the information shown on the HMC PowerVM Editions Code Information window. To update the information that is used to generate your PowerVM Editions codes, use the PowerVM Editions Code Information window to save the PowerVM Editions code information to a file on a remote system or to a file on removable media. Then, you can either attach the file to an email, or print the file and fax it to your Capacity on Demand (CoD) administrator.

To view and save PowerVM Editions code-generation information, do the following:

  1. In the navigation area of the HMC window, expand Systems Management.
  2. Select Servers.
  3. In the contents area, select the server on which you want to view and save your code-generation information.
  4. Select Tasks.
  5. Select Capacity on Demand.
  6. Select Power VM.
  7. Select View Code information.
  8. On the Show Code Information page, click Save to save the activation code information to a file on a remote system or to media.
  9. In the Save Activation Code Information window, select one of the following options, and then perform the task associated with that option.
    Option Description

    2. Click OK to save the activation code information or click Cancel to exit the panel without saving the activation code information.

    1. Click OK.
    2. Select your device. The following options might be displayed (the list will include only those removable media devices that are available for use on the HMC):

      • Flash memory
      • USB diskette drive
    3. Click OK to save the CoD code-generation information, or click Cancel to exit the panel without saving the CoD code information.

To fax or send an email with the PowerVM Editions code information in it to your PowerVM Editions or CoD administrator, use one of these options to send your information:

  • Fax-to information:
    • Send to: Capacity on Demand Administrator
    • Fax number: 507-253-4553

Ordering PowerVM Editions features
POWER7 information

Ordering PowerVM Editions features

You can order PowerVM® Editions features for a new server, a server model upgrade, or an installed server.

For a new server or a server model upgrade, your order can contain one or more PowerVM Editions features, resulting in a single PowerVM Editions code. In this case, the PowerVM Editions code is entered before the server is sent to you.

When you order PowerVM Editions features for an installed server, determine which PowerVM Editions technology you want to enable and then order the associated features. A single PowerVM Editions code will be generated for you to enter that enables all of the technologies that you ordered.

Perform the following steps to order one or more PowerVM Editions features:

  1. Determine which PowerVM Editions features you want to enable. For more information, see PowerVM Editions concepts.
  2. Contact your IBM® Business Partner or IBM sales representative to place your order for one or more PowerVM Editions features.
  3. Enter the resulting code on your server to enable PowerVM Editions. See Activating PowerVM Editions for more information.
