Understanding HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) version 6.x and 7.x Codewords Whitepaper

Table 2. Line-by-line description of the output of icod_stat
icod_stat output Description
<1> Software Version
This field displays the version of the iCAP client software.
<2> System ID
This field displays the user-specified system identifier that the iCAP system uses
when reporting the system state to HP, and when HP refers to this system in
correspondence to the system contact. The default value for this field is the
hostname of the iCAP system. To change this value, use the icod_modify –i
command (see icod_modify (1M)).
<3> Serial number
This field displays the iCAP complex’s hardware serial number.
<4> Product number
This field displays the iCAP complex’s hardware product number.
<5> Unique ID
This field displays a unique identifier for the iCAP system (generated by HP).
<6> System contact e-mail
This field displays the e-mail address for the person who should receive
configuration change notification and exception reports. This field is set via the
icod_modify-c command.
<7> From e-mail
This field displays the e-mail address that will be specified as the sender of all
iCAP-initiated e-mail correspondence. This field is set via the icod_modify -f
command. If not set, e-mail will be sent from the admin user on the local system.
<8> Asset reporting
This field indicates if the iCAP software is presently configured to send e-mail asset
reports to HP.
<9> Temporary capacity warning
period
When using Temporary Capacity, an e-mail will be sent to the “System contact e-
mail” address when the temporary capacity of the system drops below this value.
There is a new warning message to indicate that temporary capacity may soon
expire. By default, the message will warn users when temporary capacity is
projected to expire in 15 days. However, the warning message can be configured
to specify a shorter or longer value (other than 15) as the warning period. This is
accomplished with the new -w option for the icod_modify command.
Note: The warning message will be triggered based on the current consumption
rate of TiCAP. For example, if you have a server with a 50-day TiCAP balance
and you have four cores using TiCAP, your expiration is expected in 12.5 days.
So if you had a 15-day warning period, at the current consumption rate, you
would be inside the warning period and get notification.
<10> Exception Status
This field indicates if the complex is presently in an exception state. A complex is
in an exception state when the number of active components of a given type
(processors, cells, memory) exceeds the number of licensed components of the
given type.
<11> Local Virtual Partition
Information
Lines 12–17 apply to the local virtual partition from which the icod_stat
command was run.
<12> Assigned processors
This field displays the total number of processors assigned to the local virtual
partition.
<13> Active assigned processors
This field displays the number of assigned processors that are currently active in
the local virtual partition.
<14> Inactive assigned
processors
This field displays the number of assigned processors that are currently inactive in
the local virtual partition.
<15> Licensed processors that
can be assigned
This field displays the number of licensed unassigned processors in the hard
partition that are not currently assigned to any virtual partition and can be
instantly assigned.
<16> Processors that can be
assigned if licensed
This field displays the number of unlicensed processors that are immediately
available for licensing and assignment.
