HP Instant Capacity Version 10.x User Guide (5900-2063, December 2011)

Adding members to GiCAP groups
After the GiCAP group is created, you can use the following command to add the HP Integrity
Superdome 2 systems to the group:
icapmanage -a -m <member_name>:<oa_hostname> -g <group_name>
NOTE:
1. The group must already exist.
2. While adding legacy systems, hostnames of all partitions must be specified in the hostlist.
But, while adding HP Integrity Superdome 2 systems, only the hostname of the Onboard
Administrator has to be specified.
3. The group name and member name must have a maximum of 127 characters. And these
names must not contain any special characters except hypen (-), underscore (_), dot (.), and
space ( ).
After you run the command, you are prompted to enter the password for users Administrator and
active_gm on the OA. You must provide a password for active_gm user which will be set on the
OA, as this user is specifically created on OA by the group manager for communication.
IMPORTANT: After the member is added to the group, the user active_gm or the certificate
associated with the user MUST NOT be removed. If the active_gm user or the associate certificate
is removed, communication between the group manager and the group member fails.
The following example shows the addition of an HP Integrity Superdome 2 system to a GiCAP
group.
# icapmanage -a -m complex_abc:complex-oa.yourdomain.com -g sd2
Enter the password for Administrator on complex-oa.yourdomain.com: ******
Enter the password for active_gm on complex-oa.yourdomain.com: ******
Member complex_abc added to group sd2.
GiCAP resource sharing
Resource sharing within a group containing HP Integrity Superdome 2 systems is same as what is
explained in “GiCAP resource sharing” (page 77) with the following exceptions:
• Cell blade rights are absent.
• Memory usage rights cannot be shared.
Removing a GiCAP group member
The procedure to remove an HP Integrity Superdome 2 system from a group is the same as the
procedure given in “Removing a GiCAP group member” (page 81).
The following example shows how to remove an HP Integrity Superdome 2 system from the group:
# icapmanage -r -m complex_abc
Member complex_abc removed.
Rights seizure
Rights seizure from an HP Integrity Superdome 2 GiCAP group member is similar to the seizure
from legacy system explained in “Rights seizure” (page 83) with the following differences:
• The hostname of the Onboard Administrator associated with the member must be provided
in the seizure command instead of the partition hostname:
icapmanage -x <oa_hostname>
• The seizure process, when executed on the HP Integrity Superdome 2 systems leaves behind
one usage right per member complex. This is unlike seizure on legacy systems, where one
usage right is left behind for each cell.
