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

NOTE: This option is not supported within a virtual
partition.
Deferred operations are not cumulative. If there is a pending
deferred operation, a subsequent activation or deactivation
request (-s, -a, or -d), deferred or not, cancels the pending
deferred request and resets the values for intended
active and actual active based on the request and
the current value for actual active.
-i <system_id> Set system identifier used during asset reporting. The default
setting for the system identifier is the hostname of the Instant
Capacity system. This value can be returned to the default
setting by specifying an empty string (""). The system
identifier is a string that users specify to help track and
distinguish their systems.
-p n[:v] This option can be used in conjunction with-a, -d, and -s
options to specify the partition number. n is the hard partition
number and v is the virtual partition number (if the hard
partition contains virtual partitions).
-P <password> This option is used along with -C option to specify password
for applying specific types of codeword.
-r Reconcile. Activate or deactivate cores (subject to
compliance limits) to bring the system to a state where the
intended active number of cores are active. The -r
option can also be used to undo a deferred (-D) operation,
causing an immediate activation or deactivation.
-T on|off This option is used to set or unset the temporary capacity
pre-authorization flag. Turning it on makes the core
activation implicitly preauthorized to use temporary instant
capacity. This option is available on the Onboard
Administrator only.
-w <warning days> Set temporary capacity warning period to desired number
of days. If not specified, the default warning period is 15
days. The Instant Capacity software calculates when the
temporary capacity expires based on the current
consumption rate. When the temporary capacity balance
is projected to be depleted within the warning period, a
warning message is sent by an email to the system contact
if specified, and root. If temporary capacity is depleted and
you continue to have more active cores than core usage
rights across the complex, on the next power-on (boot) of
any partition in the complex the software automatically
deactivates one or more cores to bring the complex into a
more compliant state. Instant Capacity 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.
-s <n> Sets the number of active cores and the number of intended
active cores to n, if the end result does not take the complex
out of compliance. In an nPartition environment, depending
on the value of n, this option works exactly as the -a option
(if n is greater than the current number of active cores), or
