TiCAP expiration and compliance enforcement
IMPORTANT: If you leave cores without usage rights activated beyond the purchased temporary
capacity duration, the software automatically deactivates one or more cores on the next power-on
(boot) of any partition in the complex. This is to bring the system into a closer state of compliance.
In case of a virtual partition, the partition will not boot up as the required number of usage rights
will not be available.
The iCAP software deactivates as many cores as is necessary to either stop consumption of temporary
capacity or to bring the partition to the minimum number of required active cores. You must purchase
either additional temporary capacity or the appropriate number of usage rights (RTU codewords)
to be in full compliance with HP Terms and Conditions.
For examples of the error messages that are sent as a result of compliance enforcement, see “TiCAP
exceptions” (page 108).
Temporary capacity is audited at the complex level on iCAP systems that support partitioning and
are not part of a GiCAP group. Although temporary capacity might have been purchased for use
by a specific partition, it is available to all partitions in the complex (or to the entire GiCAP group,
if applicable).
TiCAP exceptions
Error for activation with insufficient TiCAP
You cannot activate an iCAP core with temporary capacity unless there is a sufficient balance of
temporary capacity available. For information on how to increase the temporary capacity balance,
see “Acquiring and configuring TiCAP” (page 103).
The following example shows an error message for attempting to activate an inactive core without
usage rights and without a sufficient balance of temporary capacity:
