HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for Version 9.x

-m
<member_name>:<host>[,<host>]...
Add a member (a partitionable complex) to a group, with
name member_name. Specify an OS instance (host) for
each nPartition or virtual partition of the complex (do not
specify virtual machine or guest OS instances).
A member of a group must encompass all nPar and vPar
OS instances of a complex, and each OS instance specified
as a host must be accessible (ping-able) in order for the
command to succeed. When you first add a member to a
group, you are prompted for the root password for each
specified host. The password is used for initial
communication only and is not saved or stored.
If you are using the HP Virtual Server Environment (VSE),
it may be helpful to define the member_name to be the
same as the VSE complex name (which includes the serial
number).
A member complex can be added to a group if it is not in
an exception state, if there are enough GiCAP sharing
rights available to match the number of cores without usage
rights on that complex, and if the complex's hardware is
compatible with the grouping rules and with the other
members of the group.
-m <member_name>
Specify the member name when removing a member from
a GiCAP group.
-n Prevents icapmanage -Q from attempting to exchange
SSL keys with member hosts which the new active Group
Manager cannot contact. This option allows icapmanage
-Q to be issued from a script without the script having to
deal with the possibility of root password prompts. If -n
is specified and there are member hosts which the new
active group manager cannot contact, the active manager
will not be able to use those hosts for GiCAP operations.
If a GiCAP group member has no hosts which the active
manager can contact, that member will not be able to
participate in the GiCAP group.
-r
Remove a member from a group, remove a GiCAP group,
or remove a system from use as a standby Group Manager.
When used with the -m option to specify the member name,
removes that member from a GiCAP group. In order to do
the remove, at least one host defined for the member must
be up and the Group Manager must be able to contact it.
(To avoid potential problems, the Group Manager should
also be able to contact any standby manager that is
defined.) Note that a member cannot be removed from a
group until any borrowed usage rights are returned to the
group and any loaned usage rights are returned to the
member. Removal of a member from a group releases
sharing rights and makes them available for future use.
When used in combination with the -g option, removes
the specified GiCAP group. All members must be removed
before the group can be removed.
