Utilizing Temporary Instant Capacity |
 |
Auditing of temporary capacity is done at the
complex level on Instant Capacity systems that support partitioning,
and are not part of a GiCAP group (see “Global Instant Capacity and Temporary Capacity” for GiCAP details).
To use temporary capacity in a system that contains
Instant Capacity cores, and has had the temporary capacity RTU codeword
applied, follow this procedure:
To activate one or more cores in an nPartition,
and allow them to use temporary capacity, use the icapmodify -t -a<number> command/options.
In the following activation example, two cores
are currently active in the partition. You desire to activate a third
core, but there are no available usage rights for activation. Because
temporary capacity is available on the system, you can activate a
third core with it.
Example 5-2 Activating an Instant Capacity Core with Temporary Capacity
(HP-UX)
> /usr/sbin/icapmodify -t -a 1
3 cores are intended to be active and are currently active.
Number of cores using temporary capacity: 1

 | NOTE: Temporary capacity cannot be used to activate
Instant Capacity cores in inactive Instant Capacity cell boards. Additional
usage rights must be purchased for the cell board, and perhaps also
for the memory of the cell board. |

When you want to decrease the use of temporary
capacity or stop using it entirely, you deactivate the appropriate
number of cores. Note: you do not use the “-t” option when deactivating cores. Temporary capacity will
no longer be used when the number of active cores is equal to or less
than the number of cores with usage rights, across the complex.
To deactivate one or more cores in an nPartition,
use the icapmodify -d <number> command.
