HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for Versions 8.x

Global Instant Capacity Member Removal
Before removing a member from a GiCAP group, all the borrowed usage rights must be returned
and all outstanding loans reclaimed. Do this by deactivating resources on the appropriate system.
There is no need to activate resources to reclaim loaned usage rights. When a member of a GiCAP
group is removed, the reclaimed usage rights will be held by the Group Manager until they are
claimed.
There is no constraint with respect to temporary capacity as it is consumed shortly after it moves
from one member in a GiCAP group to another that requires it; it is never “returned”.
When a member is removed from a group, some number of Sharing Rights are released and
become available for future use. The number freed is equal to the number of cores without usage
rights contributed by that member.
The following example removes member “IT” from its group, and then removes group “one”:
Example 7-9 Removing a Group
> icapmanage -r -m IT
Member IT removed.
> icapmanage -r -g one
Group one removed.
Note that a group cannot be removed until all members in that group have been removed.
