GiCAP group), even if the -t option is used with
icapmodify for an activation.
Number of cores currently
unavailable for assignment:
This field displays the number of unassigned cores in the
hard partition that are not assigned to the local virtual
partition and cannot be instantly assigned. This number
includes cores in inactive cells and deconfigured cores.
When using versions of vPars before A.03.05, bound
processors at the time the local virtual partition booted, if
unbound later, cannot be instantly assigned to the local
virtual partition without an intervening reboot (and
assuming usage rights are available).
Information displayed for the local nPartition
In addition to displaying the current date and time as part of the heading, the following status
is displayed when icapstatus is run on a hard partition. Much of this information is also
displayed when icapstatus is run on a virtual partition, except as otherwise specified. Note
that some of the displayed information pertains specifically and only to the local hard partition
(such as the “number of active cores” or “number of inactive cores”). However, because usage
rights and temporary capacity are always calculated globally across the entire complex, other
local values involving these items (such as “can be activated” or “could be activated” values)
are the result of calculations using count values across all the partitions. The heading for this
section includes a datestamp showing the date and time the icapstatus command was issued.
Total number of configured cores: This field displays the number of cores physically present
in the hard partition.
Number of intended active cores: This field displays the number of cores requested to be
active for this hard partition; this is the number of cores
that are activated during a boot operation. Typically, this
is the number that results from the execution of an
icapmodify command. Other commands such as
parmodify and parcreate can also affect this value.
vparmodify does not affect this value.
Number of active cores: This field displays the current number of cores active in
the hard partition.
Number of inactive cores: This field displays the current number of inactive cores in
the hard partition.
Additional cores that can be
activated with current usage rights:
This field displays the number of cores that are
immediately available for activation using existing core
usage rights on the complex. This information is not
displayed on a virtual partition.
Number of cores that could be
activated with additional usage
rights:
This field displays the number of cores that are available
for activation if additional core usage rights were
purchased or additional usage rights were borrowed from
a GiCAP group. These cores are also available for
temporary activation if temporary capacity is available.
This information is not displayed on a virtual partition.
Number of cores that can be
activated with temporary capacity:
This field displays the number of additional cores (beyond
the number allowed by the purchased usage rights or
currently borrowed GiCAP usage rights) that can be
activated using temporary capacity currently available on
the complex. When activating a core using temporary
capacity, icapmodify assumes the core is active for at
least 30 minutes. Thus, if a complex has a small temporary
capacity balance, it may not be possible to activate all the
