HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for versions B.07.x

Special Considerations
Assumed Values in icod_stat
Appendix A120
Assumed Values in icod_stat
The icod_stat command may make assumptions on the number of
active processors and amount of active memory, depending on certain
system conditions. If values are assumed, the icod_stat command’s
output contains an asterisk next to the appropriate field.
Assumed Processor Values
An asterisk may appear next to the value in the Actual Active CPUs
field (under the iCOD Partition Configuration Information section)
in the icod_stat command’s output for the following reasons:
• The absence of Instant Capacity versions B.07.x software on a
non-local partition
• A non-local partition appears to be active, but the icodd daemon is
not reporting system information
• A non-local partition was shutdown for an extended period of time
with shutdown or reboot, and the -R option was not used (which
brings the cells to an inactive state)
• A non-local partition is running an operating system that is not
HP-UX (for example, MS Windows or Linux)
In the above cases, the Instant Capacity software on other partitions
assumes that all processors in the non-local partition are active. Besides
the icod_stat command assuming values in its output, this can affect
the following:
• Temporary capacity consumption
• The ability to change the complex with parmodify, parmgr, or
parcreate commands
• Processor activation with the icod_modify command
NOTE The number of active processors is always known for a local partition
