HP Instant Capacity Version 10.x User Guide (5900-1581, March 2011)

When used in combination with the -S option, removes the
identified host system from use as a standby Group
Manager.
-s Request status about one or more GiCAP groups.
Specification without any additional options displays group
and member information for all GiCAP groups managed
by this Group Manager. Use the -g <group_name> option
to limit the information to the named group only. Use -b to
display group-level information only. Use -v to include
additional manager-specific information and more detailed
group and member information, especially partition-specific
information for members. For more information about fields
that are displayed see “Status Information”.
-t Transfer a copy of the GiCAP database from the active
Group Manager to a standby Group Manager. The active
Group Manager transfers the GiCAP database to the
standby Group Manager whenever the active Group
Manager makes changes to the database. In addition, the
Instant Capacity software uses this command as part of an
automatically generated cron job (see cron(1M)) to ensure
that this copy takes place if something should prevent normal
replication of the GiCAP database to the standby Group
Manager. While you should not need to issue this command,
you may wish to do so occasionally, especially if there are
intermittent problems with network communications between
the active Group Manager and the standby Group
Manager. You may also wish to issue this command before
having the standby Group Manager take over (via the
icapmanage -Q command on the active Group Manager)
for planned downtime on the active Group Manager. The
transfer operation works only on the active Group Manager
system.
-u Update the list of hosts (OS instances) associated with an
existing GiCAP group member. This command is typically
used when the vPar or nPar configuration of a member
complex changes. The -m option identifies the member to
be updated. The -h option identifies the hosts to be added
or removed.
Note: You are prompted for the root password for each host
to be added. The password is used for initial communication
only and is not saved or stored.
For a given command execution, host removals are
processed before host additions. As a result, the same host
can be removed and readded with one update operation.
With removes or adds applied, the resulting list must contain
a representative host for each nPartition or virtual partition
of the associated server.
When adding hosts, each host must be up and the Group
Manager must be able to contact it. (To avoid potential
problems, the Group Manager should also be able to
contact any standby manager that is defined.)
