IBM Support in Sudan After End of Life
ICD supplies tested IBM Power and System x components into Sudan inside the published North Africa band, for estates whose partitions were placed in a processor mode that no longer suits them.

Frequently Asked Questions
IBM partition processor mode and licensing questions for operators in Sudan.
Two Ways to Hold a Processor
A Power partition either holds processors dedicated to it, or draws capacity from a shared pool alongside other partitions. Dedicated gives an allocation nothing else can touch. Shared gives access to a pool whose capacity is divided according to demand and entitlement. Both are correct designs and they respond very differently to hardware being added.
Added Capacity Reaches the Pool, Not the Dedicated Partition
This is why an upgrade can help some partitions and not others on the same frame. Capacity added to a shared pool is available to everything drawing from it. A partition with a dedicated allocation continues with exactly what it had, because its allocation is a number that did not change. Nothing is faulty and the upgrade was not wasted — it simply did not reach that partition.
The mode usually predates the current workload
Modes are chosen during commissioning, for the workload of the day. Workloads change: a partition that needed guaranteed capacity becomes bursty, or a bursty one becomes steady and latency-sensitive. The mode does not follow, because nothing prompts a review and the partition continues to work.
Licensing can decide it
Some software is licensed against the processors a partition is able to use rather than the ones it actually uses, which means moving a partition between modes can change what is owed. That makes this a commercial question as much as a technical one, and it is worth establishing before a change rather than discovering it at an audit.
What ICD Supplies for IBM Estates in Sudan
Processor modules, ECC and CDIMM memory matched to the frame before shipping, ServeRAID adapters with the charge hardware their level needs, System x components, and redundant supplies for frames with no active support arrangement. Where we believe the mode rather than the hardware is the constraint, we will say so before quoting. Our North Africa card places Sudan at 2 to 4 days, door to door out of Cairo. Each unit is proved under test, listed by its own serial, and covered one to three years.
