Example 8-2 Content of Exception Report for More Cells Active than Expected
More cells active than expected
'More cells active than expected' means that the number of active cells
across the complex exceeds the number of cell usage rights. To find out
how many inactive cells are expected on the complex, run icapstatus and look
at the global number of cells without usage rights. This exception may be
corrected 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 additional cell usage rights may be purchased for permanent activation.
Example 8-3 Content of Exception Report for More Memory Active than Expected
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.
Example 8-4 Content of Exception Report for Negative Temporary Capacity Balance
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.
