The icapstatus command provides
the following temporary capacity information:
Amount of temporary capacity
remaining (in days, hours, and minutes)
Number of cores using
temporary capacity — this is the number of active cores without
usage rights
Projected temporary capacity
expiration date and time — this is based on the current temporary
capacity consumption rate
You can find this information in the Instant Capacity Resource Summary section from the icapstatus command’s output.
Here is an example of temporary capacity information,
from the Instant Capacity Resource Summary section
of the icapstatus command’s output:

Instant Capacity Resource Summary
---------------------------------
Number of cells without usage rights: 0
Number of inactive cells: 0
Amount of memory without usage rights: 0.0 GB
Amount of inactive memory: 0.0 GB
Number of cores without usage rights: 4
Number of inactive cores: 3
Number of cores using temporary capacity: 1
Temporary capacity available: 10 days, 1 hours, 40 minutes
Projected temporary capacity expiration: 12/31/07 16:00:00 |
Note that if the system is part of a GiCAP group,
additional group temporary capacity may also be available, and is
visible only via the icapmanage command on the
Group Manager system.
Temporary Capacity Expiration Reminder
The Instant Capacity software calculates when
the temporary capacity balance will expire, based on the current consumption
rate. After the temporary capacity balance reaches a certain residual
number of days (see “Temporary Instant Capacity Warning Period”), a reminder e-mail message is automatically
sent to the system-contact, if one is specified, and root. These messages will be sent on a daily basis until temporary capacity
has expired. Here is an example of a temporary capacity expiration
reminder e-mail message:
Example 5-4 Temporary Capacity Expiration Reminder
 |
To: root@par1.yourorg.com
Subject: Temporary Capacity Expiration Reminder
***************************************************************************
**** Failure to perform the following steps will result in the complex ****
**** attempting to deactivate cores on any booting partitions until ****
**** the complex is in compliance with the Instant Capacity contract. ****
***************************************************************************
This message is being sent to remind you that your Instant Capacity complex
(containing the partition krmt10b) has 3 cores currently consuming temporary
capacity (TiCAP) and that the temporary capacity balance at the current
consumption rate is projected to expire on or around:
12/31/07 16:00:00
You can view the current temporary capacity balance and consumption rate,
by using the icapstatus command.
To adjust the number of calendar days to receive the temporary capacity
warning before temporary capacity actually expires use: icapmodify -w
Before the temporary capacity balance runs out, you must perform one of the
following steps:
1. Purchase additional temporary capacity and apply the temporary
capacity codeword to the complex.
2. Deactivate cores until the number of inactive cores on
the complex matches the number of cores without usage rights,
reported by icapstatus.
3. Purchase additional core usage rights to match the number of cores
currently consuming temporary, and apply the Right to Use
codewords to the complex so that they can be permanently activated.
See the Instant Capacity User's Guide at /usr/share/doc/icapUserGuide.pdf
for more information. |

Also note that the output from icapstatus during the warning period includes a warning about the expiration
of temporary capacity.
