When used in combination with the -Soption, removes

 

the identified host system from use as a standby Group

 

Manager.

-s

Request status about one or more GiCAP groups.

 

Specification without any additional options displays group

 

and member information for all GiCAP groups managed

 

by this Group Manager. Use the -g<group_name>

 

option to limit the information to the named group only.

 

Use -bto display group-level information only. Use -vto

 

include additional manager-specific information and more

 

detailed group and member information, especially

 

partition-specific information for members. For more

 

information about fields that are displayed see “Status

 

Information”.

-t

Transfer a copy of the GiCAP database from the active

 

Group Manager to a standby Group Manager. The active

 

Group Manager transfers the GiCAP database to the

 

standby Group Manager whenever the active Group

 

Manager makes changes to the database. In addition, the

 

Instant Capacity software uses this command as part of an

 

automatically generated cron job (see cron(1M)) to ensure

 

that this copy takes place if something should prevent

 

normal replication of the GiCAP database to the standby

 

Group Manager. While you should not need to issue this

 

command, you may wish to do so occasionally, especially

 

if there are intermittent problems with network

 

communications between the active Group Manager and

 

the standby Group Manager. You may also wish to issue

 

this command before having the standby Group Manager

 

take over (via the icapmanage -Qcommand on the active

 

Group Manager) for planned downtime on the active

 

Group Manager. The transfer operation works only on the

 

active Group Manager system.

-u

Update the list of hosts (OS instances) associated with an

 

existing GiCAP group member. This command is typically

 

used when the vPar or nPar configuration of a member

 

complex changes. The -moption identifies the member to

 

be updated. The -hoption identifies the hosts to be added

 

or removed.

 

Note: You are prompted for the root password for each

 

host to be added. The password is used for initial

 

communication only and is not saved or stored.

 

For a given command execution, host removals are

 

processed before host additions. As a result, the same host

 

can be removed and readded with one update operation.

 

With removes or adds applied, the resulting list must

 

contain a representative host for each nPartition or virtual

 

partition of the associated server.

 

When adding hosts, each host 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.)
