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

iCAP software separately on OpenVMS systems. Onsite iCAP 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 iCAP 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$JOB_nnnnnnnn)
Status reporting on iCAP systems
You can use the icapstatus command to view the status of your iCAP system. With no options,
the icapstatus command provides the following information:
• Version number of the iCAP software
• System identification information (system ID, serial number, current product number, unique
ID)
• Email addresses for both the system contact (mail to the local system) and a “From” address
(mail from the local system)
• Asset reporting status (on or off)
• Temporary capacity warning period (in days)
• Exception status (indicates whether complex is in an exception state)
• If part of a GiCAP group, group membership information, including borrow/loan status
• Local partition information
• iCAP resource information for the entire complex
• Allocation of iCAP resources among the hard partitions
For information about what is reported by the icapstatus command, see “Checking the status
of your iCAP system” (page 35). For details about the icapstatus command, see icapstatus(1M).
Time zone considerations
On HP-UX systems, the icapd daemon performs routine iCAP software tasks on a daily basis. A
partition’s local time zone setting affects what time zone the icapd daemon uses for the timing of
these tasks. Be sure that the time zone is set properly to ensure synchronization among the partitions.
Because the HP-UX icapd daemon is started by init, the /etc/default/tz file must contain the
desired time zone specification. By default, the time zone is set to EST5EDT. You can specify the
time zone the icapd daemon uses to interpret noon and midnight by modifying the entry in the
/etc/default/tz file.
On OpenVMS systems, the ICAP_SERVER uses the time zone settings defined by the
SYS$STARTUP:TDF$UTC_STARTUP.COM file. To view the time zone settings, enter the command
@sys$manager:utc$time_setup “show”. Enter the command
@sys$manager:utc$time_setup and follow the menu instructions to modify the time zone
setting for the iCAP partition.
