HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) manual Information displayed for the local nPartition

	capacity is not used as long as there are available core usage
	rights on the complex (or in the group, if a member of a
	GiCAP group), even if the -toption is used with
	icapmodify for an activation.
Number of cores currently	This field displays the number of unassigned cores in the
unavailable for assignment:	hard partition that are not assigned to the local virtual
	partition and cannot be instantly assigned. This number
	includes cores in inactive cells and deconfigured cores.
	When using versions of vPars before A.03.05, bound

	unbound later, cannot be instantly assigned to the local
	virtual partition without an intervening reboot (and
	assuming usage rights are available).

Information displayed for the local nPartition

In addition to displaying the current date and time as part of the heading, the following status is displayed when icapstatus is run on a hard partition. Much of this information is also displayed when icapstatus is run on a virtual partition, except as otherwise specified. Note that some of the displayed information pertains specifically and only to the local hard partition (such as the “number of active cores” or “number of inactive cores”). However, because usage rights and temporary capacity are always calculated globally across the entire complex, other local values involving these items (such as “can be activated” or “could be activated” values) are the result of calculations using count values across all the partitions. The heading for this section includes a datestamp showing the date and time the icapstatus command was issued.

This field displays the number of cores physically present in the hard partition.

This field displays the number of cores requested to be active for this hard partition; this is the number of cores that are activated during a boot operation. Typically, this is the number that results from the execution of an icapmodify command. Other commands such as parmodify and parcreate can also affect this value. vparmodify does not affect this value.

This field displays the current number of cores active in the hard partition.

This field displays the current number of inactive cores in the hard partition.

This field displays the number of cores that are immediately available for activation using existing core usage rights on the complex. This information is not displayed on a virtual partition.

This field displays the number of cores that are available for activation if additional core usage rights were purchased or additional usage rights were borrowed from a GiCAP group. These cores are also available for temporary activation if temporary capacity is available. This information is not displayed on a virtual partition.

This field displays the number of additional cores (beyond the number allowed by the purchased usage rights or currently borrowed GiCAP usage rights) that can be activated using temporary capacity currently available on the complex. When activating a core using temporary
