User's Manual

WBEM version A.02.05 or higher must be installed on the Group Manager and on all member

systems in order to use Global Instant Capacity. The CIM Server configuration property

sslClientVerificationMode must be set to a value of “optional” on all GiCAP Group

Managers and on all OS instances of all member systems. (The CIM Server may need to be

restarted if the property was not previously set to this value.) For details, see cimconfig(1M). Note

that communication between the managers and members of groups is established using SSL

certificates that are supplied by the GiCAP software.

Compliance

In general, a complex is in a compliant state when the number of active components of a given

type does not exceed the number of usage rights associated with the type of component. The one

exception is that the number of active cores is allowed to exceed the number of core usage rights

as long as there is a sufficient positive balance of temporary capacity. A negative balance always

indicates a system which is out of compliance.

A GiCAP group is in a compliant state as long as all the members are in a compliant state, all

the members of the group continue to have compatible hardware as determined by the hardware

grouping rules, and the number of sharing rights installed on the GiCAP manager is equal or

greater than the total number of cores without usage rights on complexes managed by the Group

Manager.
