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

-h Used in combination with the -u option in order to identify
hosts to be added to or removed from an existing GiCAP
group member's list. A hostlist identifies hosts to be added.
A hostlist preceded by a ! identifies hosts to be removed.
There must be no intervening blanks within a hostlist, and
if both add and remove lists are specified, the entire string
must be contiguous.
-i
Install a grouping rules file on a Group Manager system.
-m
<member_name>:<host>[,<host>]...
When adding a server to a group, specify a member_name
for the server complex and specify a representative host
for each nPartition or virtual partition of that server. All
nPartitions and virtual partitions must be represented in
the host list. A host can be specified using either the IP
address or the name of the host. A server can be added 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 server, and if the grouping
rules indicate compatible hardware. Note: when you first
add a member to a group, you will be prompted for the
root password for each specified host. The password is
used only for initial communication and is not saved or
stored.
-m <member_name>
Specify the member name when removing a member from
a GiCAP group.
-r
Remove a member from a group or remove a GiCAP group.
When used in combination with the -m option to specify
the member name, removes that member from a GiCAP
group. Note that a member cannot be removed from a
group until any “borrowed” usage rights have been
returned to the group and any “loaned” usage rights have
been 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.
-s
Request status about one or more GiCAP groups.
Specification without any additional options displays group
and member information for all GiCAP groups managed
by this Group Manager. Use the -g <group_name>
option to limit the information to the named group only.
Use -b to display group-level information only. Use -v to
include additional manager-specific information and more
detailed group and member information, especially
partition-specific information for members. For more
information about fields that are displayed see “Status
Information”.
-u
Update the list of hosts associated with an existing GiCAP
group member. The -m option identifies the member to be
updated. The -h option identifies the hosts to be added
and/or removed.
Note: You will be prompted for the root password for each
host to be added. The password is used only for initial
communication and is not saved or stored.
