Instant Capacity Manager

Limitations

• For the Instant Capacity Manager, when non-root accounts are used to retrieve WBEM data, some of the values displayed by Instant Capacity Manager may not match the icapstatus command output on the managed system.

  Workaround  Use a privileged account or WBEM Certificate-Based Authentication to access WBEM information on the managed nodes.

• Instant Capacity (iCAP) Manager supports Instant Capacity 8.02 or later.

• The GiCAP WBEM provider only allows privileged access. As such, GiCAP information, including information about GiCAP groups, will not be available to non-privileged users.

  Workaround  Use WBEM certificate-based authentication for the systems that are GiCAP group managers. Certificate-based authentication requires WBEM A.02.05 or later.

Minor Issues

• Data is missing for complexes within a GiCAP group.

  Workaround  Visit the complex page or the GiCAP group page that contains the complex.

• Red duplicate gadget messages are listed due to complexes showing in both the upper table and a GiCAP group.

  Workaround  Click the Refresh data link on the page.

• Negative TiCAP values are not included in the total.

  Workaround  Do not let the TiCAP balance for a complex drop below zero.

• When a system becomes a GiCAP group manager, the system must be reidentified in HP SIM for the GiCAP group manager to be visible in iCAP Manager.

• nPartitions that are not running HP-UX will not appear on the Complex page in iCAP Manager.
