man icapnotify
man icapd
The output of the icapstatus command (formerly icod_stat) has been changed
to reflect the new terminology and to incorporate several new features:
A more concise description of Instant Capacity resources among the
partitions (condensed to one section instead of two)
Additional line item for the number of inactive cores on the local hard
partition
The line item that previously displayed “Processors that can be activated if
licensed” is now expanded to two items, showing “Additional cores that can
be activated with temporary capacity” and “Number of cores that could be
activated with additional usage rights”
If the server participates in a GiCAP group, some information about the
group and about borrowed or loaned usage rights is included
Various additional filename changes have been made: The Instant Capacity
daemon name is changed to icapd (formerly icodd). The Instant Capacity log
file is changed to /var/adm/icap.log (formerly icod.log).
The documentation files are changed to
/usr/share/doc/icapReleaseNotes.pdf and
/usr/share/doc/icapUserGuide.pdf. A new file,
/usr/share/doc/icapOverview.htm can be used to link to the most up-to-date
documentation files on the HP Web site. In particular, if you do not have a pdf
reader, this allows you to link to the html versions of the documents on the Web
site.
On systems which do not contain Instant Capacity components, icapstatus
gives detailed information about the system instead of the abbreviated
information previously reported.
—The icapstatus command now displays the new system product number rather
than the original product number if a system is upgraded from one hardware
version to another.
Impact
On HP-UX 11i v2, HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) version B.11.23.08.00.xx supersedes HP
Instant Capacity version B.11.23.07.00.
Additional HP-UX patches may be required. See the HP Instant Capacity Release Notes
at http://docs.hp.com/en/netsys.html for further information.
HP Instant Capacity now includes support for Global Instant Capacity, or GiCAP, which
provides HP customers with the flexibility to move usage rights for Instant Capacity
components within a group of servers, and it also provides “pooled” temporary capacity
across the group. This has several potential benefits: cost-effective high availability,
more adaptable load balancing, and more efficient and easier use of temporary capacity.
Note that in order to manage the GiCAP group, a new command icapmanage is provided.
For example, in case of planned or unplanned downtime, a customer can transfer usage
rights (RTUs) from a failed partition on one server to one or more other servers in the
group that are providing backup availability, thus allowing additional activations of
