such as an RTU or TiCAP codeword.) For GiCAP Sharing
Rights codewords, first, the GiCAP codeword must be
purchased from HP. The number of rights purchased
should equal or exceed the number of cores without usage
rights for all planned members for all groups managed by
the Group Manager. Next, the codeword should be
retrieved from the HP Utility Pricing Solutions portal and
applied to the Group Manager system. Unlike iCAP
codewords, GiCAP codewords are generated for a specified
partition on a Group Manager system, and can only be
applied to that partition. Like iCAP codewords, GiCAP
codewords are also generated in a sequence and must be
applied in the order they are generated for the Group
Manager partition. However, GiCAP codewords are
sequenced independently from any iCAP codewords for
the same complex, and can be applied independently from
any such iCAP codewords. Application of the GiCAP
codeword allows members to be added to one or more
GiCAP groups.
-R [<host>[,<host>]...]
Report hardware grouping information. When used in
combination with a list of host names, reports all hardware
types with which the hosts might be grouped. The hosts
can be specified using either the IP address or the name of
the host. If the hosts are not compatible with each other,
no hardware will be reported. Without a list of host names,
reports all supported hardware and grouping rules.
Specification of the -U option reports hardware associated
with the specified rule file instead of the installed rule file,
and can be used to evaluate a new grouping rules file
before installing it with -i.
-T <host>[,<host>]...
Test hardware compatibility for one or more host systems
in order to determine which groups the systems can join.
When used in combination with the -g option to specify
a group name, tests whether the specified host systems
have hardware which is compatible with the group.
Without the -g option, report which groups of all the
groups managed by this Group Manager have hardware
which is compatible with the host systems. A host can be
specified using either the IP address or the name of the
host. The host names do not have to be from the same
complex, but in order to best predict the possibility of being
able to join a group, the list of hosts should include all the
nPartitions for a particular complex. If the hosts are not
compatible with each other, no groups will be reported as
having compatible hardware.
-U <rule_file>
Specify the filename of a rule file.
Status Information
This section describes the fields that might be displayed when icapmanage -s is invoked to
show status. The exact choice of options used in combination with the -s option determines how
much of the information is displayed.
To begin, the display shows the software version number of the Global Instant Capacity software
and the identification information for the Group Manager: serial number, nPar ID (if any), and
