The icod_stat command may make assumptions on the number of active processors and amount of active memory, depending on certain system conditions. If values are assumed, the icod_stat command’s output contains an asterisk next to the appropriate field.

Assumed Processor Values

An asterisk may appear next to the value in the Actual Active CPUs field (under the iCOD Partition Configuration Information section) in the icod_stat command’s output for the following reasons:

  • The absence of Instant Capacity versions B.07.x software on a non-local partition

  • A non-local partition appears to be active, but the icodd daemon is not reporting system information

  • A non-local partition was shutdown for an extended period of time with shutdown or reboot, and the -R option was not used (which brings the cells to an inactive state)

  • A non-local partition is running an operating system that is not HP-UX (for example, MS Windows or Linux)

In the above cases, the Instant Capacity software on other partitions assumes that all processors in the non-local partition are active. Besides the icod_stat command assuming values in its output, this can affect the following:

  • Temporary capacity consumption

  • The ability to change the complex with parmodify, parmgr, or parcreate commands

  • Processor activation with the icod_modify command

NOTE: The number of active processors is always known for a local partition

If a non-local partition appears to be inactive, the number of active processors reported by the icod_stat command is zero. For example, if the hardware for a non-local partition is inactive, icod_stat considers the partition as inactive and reports the number of active processors as zero.

Assumed Memory Values

When a cell board is powered off, no matter if the cell is in the local partition or in a non-local partition, the amount of inactive memory is assumed to be 2 GB and is reported as such by the icod_stat command.

An asterisk may appear next to the value in the Inactive Memory field (under the Allocation of iCOD Resources Among Partitions section) in the icod_stat command’s output.
