turned off after a partition reboot, unassigned from partitions, or additional cell usage rights may be purchased for permanent activation.

More memory active than expected

'More memory active than expected' means that the amount of active memory across the complex exceeds the available memory usage rights. To find out how much inactive memory is expected on the complex, run icapstatus and look at the global amount of memory without usage rights. Typically, this exception occurs when a newly added cell without usage rights is activated, but it may also occur when a cell with a small amount of memory is deactivated and replaced with a cell with a greater amount of memory. To correct this exception, one or more cells will have to be deactivated in order to deactivate the appropriate amount of memory. This can be done by using parmodify to set the use_on_next_boot flag for an assigned cell to “n”, followed by a partition reboot. Alternately, cells may be turned off after a partition reboot, unassigned from partitions, or the appropriate amount of memory usage rights may be purchased for permanent activation.

Negative temporary capacity balance

'Negative temporary capacity balance' means that the authorized temporary capacity (TiCAP) balance on the system has been depleted and continued use of core(s) without usage rights has caused additional (unauthorized) temporary capacity to be consumed. To correct this exception, first correct any 'More cores active than expected' exception so that the temporary capacity balance does not continue to grow more negative. Then, purchase additional temporary capacity and apply the temporary capacity codeword to the complex. Alternately, purchase additional usage rights to match the number of core(s) consuming temporary capacity and apply the Right to Use (RTU) codewords to the complex.
