-i

Install a grouping rules file on a Group Manager system.

-m

Add a member (a partitionable complex) to a group, with

<member_name>:<host>[,<host>]... name member_name. Specify an OS instance (host) for

 

each nPartition or virtual partition of the complex (do not

 

specify virtual machine or guest OS instances).

 

A member of a group must encompass all nPar and vPar

 

OS instances of a complex, and each OS instance specified

 

as a host must be accessible (ping-able) in order for the

 

command to succeed. When you first add a member to a

 

group, you are prompted for the root password for each

 

specified host. The password is used for initial

 

communication only and is not saved or stored.

 

If you are using the HP Virtual Server Environment (VSE),

 

it may be helpful to define the member_name to be the

 

same as the VSE complex name (which includes the serial

 

number).

 

A member complex can be added to a group if it is not in

 

an exception state, if there are enough GiCAP sharing

 

rights available to match the number of cores without usage

 

rights on that complex, and if the complex's hardware is

 

compatible with the grouping rules and with the other

 

members of the group.

-m<member_name>

Specify the member name when removing a member from

 

a GiCAP group.

-n

Prevents icapmanage -Qfrom attempting to exchange

 

SSL keys with member hosts which the new active Group

 

Manager cannot contact. This option allows icapmanage

 

-Qto be issued from a script without the script having to

 

deal with the possibility of root password prompts. If -n

 

is specified and there are member hosts which the new

 

active group manager cannot contact, the active manager

 

will not be able to use those hosts for GiCAP operations.

 

If a GiCAP group member has no hosts which the active

 

manager can contact, that member will not be able to

 

participate in the GiCAP group.

-r

Remove a member from a group, remove a GiCAP group,

 

or remove a system from use as a standby Group Manager.

 

When used with the -moption to specify the member name,

 

removes that member from a GiCAP group. In order to do

 

the remove, at least one host defined for the member must

 

be up and the Group Manager must be able to contact it.

 

(To avoid potential problems, the Group Manager should

 

also be able to contact any standby manager that is

 

defined.) Note that a member cannot be removed from a

 

group until any borrowed usage rights are returned to the

 

group and any loaned usage rights are returned to the

 

member. Removal of a member from a group releases

 

sharing rights and makes them available for future use.

 

When used in combination with the -goption, removes

 

the specified GiCAP group. All members must be removed

 

before the group can be removed.
