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

iCOD B.11.23.09.00 HP-UX iCOD Instant Capacity
To verify that the Instant Capacity software installation has not been corrupted, execute the following
HP-UX command:
/usr/sbin/swverify iCOD
The command will display the message Verification succeeded.
On OpenVMS Systems
On OpenVMS systems, the Instant Capacity software is automatically installed on partitionable
systems when the OpenVMS Version 8.3 or later operating system is installed. You should not
need to install the Instant Capacity software separately on OpenVMS systems. Onsite Instant
Capacity installation by an HP service representative after the initial installation of OpenVMS
Version 8.3 is not an option for OpenVMS systems.
To verify that the Instant Capacity software is installed and configured, run the following commands:
$ @sys$manager:ICAP$CLI_UTILS.COM CONFIG_CHECK
$ show log ICAP$CONFIGURED
"ICAP$CONFIGURED" = "TRUE" (LNM$JOB_nnnnnnnn)
Status Reporting on Instant Capacity Systems
You can use the icapstatus command to view the status of your Instant Capacity system. With
no options, the icapstatus command provides the following information:
• Version number of the Instant Capacity software
• System identification information (system ID, serial number, current product number, unique
ID)
• Email addresses for both the system contact (mail to the local system) and a “From” address
(mail from the local system)
• Asset reporting status (on or off)
• Temporary capacity warning period (in days)
• Exception status (indicates whether complex is in an exception state)
• If part of a GiCAP group, group membership information, including borrow/loan status
• Local partition information
• Instant Capacity resource information for the entire complex
• Allocation of Instant Capacity resources among the hard partitions
For information about what is reported by the icapstatus command, see “Checking the Status
of your Instant Capacity System” (page 37). For details about the icapstatus command, see
icapstatus(1M).
Time Zone Considerations
On HP-UX systems, the icapd daemon performs routine Instant Capacity software tasks on a daily
basis. A partition’s local time zone setting affects what time zone the icapd daemon uses for the
timing of these tasks Be sure that the time zone is set properly to ensure synchronization among
the partitions.
Because the HP-UX icapd daemon is started by init, the /etc/default/tz file must contain the
desired time zone specification. By default, the time zone is set to EST5EDT. You can specify the
time zone the icapd daemon uses to interpret noon and midnight by modifying the entry in the
/etc/default/tz file.
On OpenVMS systems, the ICAP_SERVER uses the time zone settings defined by the
SYS$STARTUP:TDF$UTC_STARTUP.COM file. To view the time zone settings, enter the command
