Details and example scenarios
If a system is out of compliance, as described in the section “General iCAP rules,” then
you have to take necessary steps to bring the system back to compliance with the iCAP Terms
and Conditions. The following examples illustrate the activities that you can follow to
achieve compliance.
Example 1: Compliant system with two booted nPars
Consider a complex with two nPars; nPar 1 and nPar 2. In this example, we assume that one active
and one iCAP blade are purchased. The complex has eight cores with Permanent Usage Rights and
eight iCAP Cores without Usage Rights. Each nPar has four active cores and four inactive cores.
nPar 1 is running a vPar which is configured to use a minimum of four cores. Since the number of
active cores is equal to cores with Usage Rights the complex is compliant. This state is shown in
figure 1.
Figure 1: Compliant system with two booted nPars
Complex 1
Total # of cores in Complex 1 = 16 (1 iCAP blade and 1 active blade)
vPar in nPar 1 -> icapmodify –s 4
nPar 2 -> icapmodify –s 4
# of Cores with Permanent Usage Rights = 8
Total Active Cores plus Intended Active from Partitions at EFI = 8
System In Compliance!
