it deassigns the specified number of cores from the local

 

 

 

vPar.

-D

 

 

Defers a core activation or deactivation until the next

 

 

 

reboot. This option modifies the default behavior of the

 

 

 

-d, -s, and -aoptions, which is to activate or deactivate

 

 

 

cores instantly.

 

 

 

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.

-f<from_email_address>

 

 

Set Instant Capacity “from” email address. Causes all

 

 

 

Instant Capacity email correspondence from this system

 

 

 

to appear to be sent from from_email_address.

 

 

 

Specifying an empty string (" ") returns to default behavior,

 

 

 

which is to send from the adm user on the local system.

 

 

 

The address specified must be DNS resolvable by HP.

-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.

-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.

-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 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 reboot of any

 

 

 

partition in the complex the software automatically

 

 

 

deactivates one or more cores in order 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, as long as the end result does not take

 

 

 

the complex out of compliance. In an nPartition

 

 

 

environment, depending on the value of n, this option
