Global Instant Capacity

Does HP know the configuration of the GiCAP groups? No. GiCAP group data is stored on the GiCAP Group Manager which runs in the customer’s data center. The group configuration is limited by HP’s grouping rules, but no information on groups or group members is communicated to HP.

Is GiCAP migration supported on a completely unavailable server? Yes. GiCAP Disaster Recovery is supported as long as the Group Manager is running iCAP version 8.02.01 or later, and all known hosts on member servers in the group are running iCAP version 8.02 or later.

How much history is retained in the Global Instant Capacity log files? The GiCAP log files retain up to 2 MB of GiCAP events. A GiCAP event occurs, and is written to the log files, when one of the following happen:

A GiCAP group is created or removed
A member is added to or removed from a GiCAP group
A member is updated through addition or removal of a host
There is a transfer of usage rights and/or temporary capacity between a member and the GiCAP manager

You can view all events in the GiCAP log files by viewing the file /var/adm/gicap.log on the Group Manager system.
