HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) manual Temporary Capacity and Virtual Partitions, Usr/sbin/icapstatus

Temporary Capacity and Virtual Partitions

If temporary capacity is being consumed in any virtual partition environment (previously authorized with icapmodify -an -t), deactivating a core with the vparmodify -dcommand temporarily reduces the consumption of temporary capacity, although there may be a delay of up to 30 minutes for the consumption of temporary capacity to cease. A subsequent core activation using the vparmodify -acommand increases consumption of temporary capacity, if the activation results in more active cores than available core usage rights.

Use the icapmodify -dcommand to immediately decrease or cease the use of temporary capacity. It is not necessary to use the -toption with the -doption. Use the icapmodify -a-tcommand to resume temporary capacity consumption.

The following is an example of the output from an icapstatus command on a partitionable system containing vPars.
