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

-t Authorize use of temporary capacity. This option, in
combination with either the -a or the -s option, specifies
that a core activation is allowed to consume temporary
capacity. Temporary capacity is consumed when the
number of active cores exceeds the number of core usage
rights. It is no longer used when the number of active cores
is decreased to no more than the number of core usage
rights available to the complex. Use icapmodify -d or
-s to reduce or stop the use of temporary capacity. It is
not necessary to use the -t option when using the -d
option. If a previous activation via icapmodify has
resulted in temporary capacity being consumed in a virtual
partition environment, deactivating a core with a
vparmodify command temporarily reduces the
consumption of temporary capacity. A subsequent core
activation using vparmodify increases consumption of
temporary capacity if the activation results in more active
cores than core usage rights.
desc
Optional description to help customers identify this
configuration change. This description becomes part of the
Instant Capacity logfile (var/adm/icap.log) entry
documenting the activation or deactivation. This
description is also contained in the configuration change
notification e-mail.
user_name
Optional string identifying the person performing the core
activation or deactivation. This can be any ASCII string,
and will become part of the Instant Capacity logfile
(/var/adm/icap.log) entry documenting the activation
or deactivation. The string specified here will also be
contained in the configuration change notification e-mail.
UPGRADES
The icapmodify command fails if the system is in a state where a software upgrade is incomplete
(the software on the system has been upgraded from a version earlier than B.06.00, but an upgrade
codeword issued by the HP Utility Pricing Solutions portal (http://www.hp.com/go/icap/portal)
has not been applied to the complex). The only option that can be used when the complex is in
this state is the -C option, which accepts the upgrade codeword.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
• LANG determines the locale to use for the locale categories when both LC_ALL and the
corresponding environment variable (beginning with LC_) do not specify a locale. If LANG
is not set or is set to the empty string, a default of “C” is used (see lang(5)).
• LC_CTYPE determines the interpretation of single- and multi-byte characters.
• LC_TIME determines the date and time strings output.
• LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, icapmodify behaves as if
all internationalization variables are set to “C” (see environ(5)).
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported. However, input to the command must
be entered using ASCII characters only.
