turned off after a partition reboot, unassigned from partitions, or additional cell usage rights
may be purchased for permanent activation.
• More memory active than expected
'More memory active than expected' means that the amount of active memory across the
complex exceeds the available memory usage rights. To find out how much inactive memory
is expected on the complex, run icapstatus and look at the global amount of memory
without usage rights. Typically, this exception occurs when a newly added cell without
usage rights is activated, but it may also occur when a cell with a small amount of memory
is deactivated and replaced with a cell with a greater amount of memory. To correct this
exception, one or more cells will have to be deactivated in order to deactivate the appropriate
amount of memory. This can be done by using parmodify to set the use_on_next_boot
flag for an assigned cell to “n”, followed by a partition reboot. Alternately, cells may be
turned off after a partition reboot, unassigned from partitions, or the appropriate amount
of memory usage rights may be purchased for permanent activation.
• Negative temporary capacity balance
'Negative temporary capacity balance' means that the authorized temporary capacity (TiCAP)
balance on the system has been depleted and continued use of core(s) without usage rights
has caused additional (unauthorized) temporary capacity to be consumed. To correct this
exception, first correct any 'More cores active than expected' exception so that the temporary
capacity balance does not continue to grow more negative. Then, purchase additional
temporary capacity and apply the temporary capacity codeword to the complex. Alternately,
purchase additional usage rights to match the number of core(s) consuming temporary
capacity and apply the Right to Use (RTU) codewords to the complex.
