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

Example 10 Activating an Instant Capacity Core with Temporary Capacity (HP-UX)
> /usr/sbin/icapmodify -t -a 1
3 cores are intended to be active and are currently active.
Number of cores using temporary capacity: 1
Projected temporary capacity exporation: 12/22/08 08:00:00
NOTE: Temporary capacity cannot be used to activate Instant Capacity cores in inactive Instant
Capacity cell boards. You must purchase additional usage rights for the cell board and perhaps
also for the memory of the cell board.
To decrease the use of temporary capacity or to stop using it entirely, deactivate the appropriate
number of cores. (Do not use the icapmodify -t command when deactivating cores.) Temporary
capacity is no longer used when the number of active cores is equal to or less than the number of
cores with usage rights, across the complex.
To deactivate one or more cores in an nPartition, use the icapmodify -d <number> command.
Temporary Capacity and Virtual Partitions
If temporary capacity is being consumed in any virtual partition environment (previously authorized
with icapmodify -a n -t), deactivating a core with the vparmodify -d command temporarily
reduces the consumption of temporary capacity, although there may be a delay of up to 30 minutes
for the consumption of temporary capacity to cease. A subsequent core activation using the
vparmodify -a command increases consumption of temporary capacity, if the activation results
in more active cores than available core usage rights.
Use the icapmodify -d command to immediately decrease or cease the use of temporary
capacity. It is not necessary to use the -t option with the -d option. Use the icapmodify -a -t
command to resume temporary capacity consumption.
The following is an example of the output from an icapstatus command on a partitionable
system containing vPars.
