HP Instant Capacity Version 10.x User Guide (762794-001, March 2014)

cannot be instantly assigned to the local virtual partition
without an intervening reboot (and assuming usage rights
are available).
Information displayed for the local nPartition
In addition to displaying the current date and time as part of the heading, the following status is
displayed when icapstatus is run on a hard partition. Much of this information is also displayed
when icapstatus is run on a virtual partition, except as otherwise specified. Note that some of
the displayed information pertains specifically and only to the local hard partition (such as the
“number of active cores” or “number of inactive cores”). However, because usage rights and
temporary capacity are always calculated globally across the entire complex, other local values
involving these items (such as “can be activated” or “could be activated” values) are the result of
calculations using count values across all the partitions. The heading for this section includes a
datestamp showing the date and time the icapstatus command was issued.
Total number of configured cores: Displays the number of cores physically present in the hard
partition.
Number of intended active cores: Displays the number of cores requested to be active for this
hard partition; this is the number of cores that are activated
during a boot operation. Typically, this is the number that
results from the execution of an icapmodify command.
Other commands such as parmodify and parcreate
can also affect this value. vparmodify does not affect this
value.
Number of active cores: Displays the current number of cores active in the hard
partition.
Number of inactive cores: Displays the current number of inactive cores in the hard
partition.
Additional cores that can be
activated with current usage rights:
Displays the number of cores that are immediately available
for activation using existing core usage rights on the
complex. This information is not displayed on a virtual
partition.
Number of cores that could be
activated with additional usage
rights:
Displays the number of cores that are available for activation
if additional core usage rights were purchased or additional
usage rights were borrowed from a GiCAP group. These
cores are also available for temporary activation if
temporary capacity is available. This information is not
displayed on a virtual partition.
Number of cores that can be
activated with temporary capacity:
Displays the number of additional cores (beyond the number
allowed by the purchased usage rights or currently borrowed
GiCAP usage rights) that can be activated using temporary
capacity currently available on the complex. When
activating a core using temporary capacity, icapmodify
assumes the core is active for at least 30 minutes. Thus, if
a complex has a small temporary capacity balance, it may
not be possible to activate all the inactive cores in a partition
using temporary capacity. Also, temporary capacity is not
used if there are available core usage rights on the complex,
even if the -t option is used with icapmodify for an
activation. This information is not displayed on a virtual
partition.
