HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) manual Status Information, Symbols used in the display

A standby Group Manager can be added anytime after the active Group Manager has grouping rules installed on it (before or after the application of sharing rights to the active Group Manager, before or after groups are created). A Group Manager in standby status can be removed at any time.

-T<host>[,<host>]... Test hardware compatibility for one or more host systems in order to determine which groups the systems can join. When used with the -goption to specify a group name, tests whether the specified host systems have hardware compatible with the group. Without the -goption, report which of all the groups managed by this Group Manager have hardware compatible with the host systems. A host can be specified using either the IP address or the name of the host. The host names do not have to be from the same complex, but to best predict the possibility of joining a group, the list of hosts should include all the nPartitions for a particular complex. If the hosts are not compatible, no groups are reported as having compatible hardware.

-U<rule_file> Specify the filename of a rule file.

Status Information

This section describes the fields that might be displayed when icapmanage -sis used to show status. The exact choice of options used in combination with the -soption determines how much of the information is displayed.

First, the display shows the software version number of the Global Instant Capacity software and the current date and time. This is followed by the identification information for the Group Manager: serial number, nPar ID (if any), and vPar code (if any). This identification information is necessary when requesting a sharing rights codeword from the portal. Next, the Group Manager status (active or standby) is displayed. On an active Group Manager, this is followed by the name of the dedicated standby Group Manager (if any). On a standby Group Manager, this is followed by the name of the associated active Group Manager. Next, the display shows the number of sharing rights that have been purchased and applied to this Group Manager, and how many sharing rights are currently in use versus the number still available to accommodate addition of new members or new groups with new members.

Symbols used in the display

The output of the icapmanage -scommand uses symbols next to the value of some fields in certain circumstances. These symbols are as follows:

*Indicates an estimated number of active cores, memory or cells, because full information is not available (for example, when a host is not reachable, or on some platforms when cells are powered off).

#Indicates that all cores in the partition, rather than any specific number, have been requested to be active. The number indicates the current number of cores in the partition.

Information displayed for each GiCAP group

These values can be displayed for each group managed by the Group Manager.

Group <group_name>:	This field displays the name of the GiCAP group.
Group Members:	This summarizes the name of each member in the group, and also shows
	the host names comprising each member complex.
