Example 7-7 Cell/Memory Sharing
In the following scenario, member1 of the group mygroup has an inactive cell it wants to activate,
but no usage rights are available on the system. However, member2 of the group has available
usage rights.
First, we can see from the output of icapstatus on member1 that no cell or memory usage
rights are available:

The output of icapstatus on member2 shows that memory and cell usage rights are available,
along with one core usage right:

Number of inactive cells: 2
Amount of memory without usage rights: 16.0 GB
Amount of inactive memory: 32.0 GB

In this situation, it is not necessary to deactivate components on member2 since the system is
under-utilized and usage rights are available. The usage rights from member2 are available to
member1, and the cell can be activated:
member1> parmodify -p 0 -m 2::y:
After a reboot or (on HP-UX 11.31 OEUR 0709 or later) a Cell Online Activation, all of the cell
and memory components on member1 will be active.
