it deassigns the specified number of cores from the local
vPar.
-D
Defers a core activation or deactivation until the next
reboot. This option modifies the default behavior of the
-d, -s, and -a options, which is to activate or deactivate
cores instantly.
NOTE: This option is not supported within a virtual
partition.
Deferred operations are not cumulative. If there is a
pending deferred operation, a subsequent activation or
deactivation request (-s, -a, or -d), deferred or not, cancels
the pending deferred request and resets the values for
intended active and actual active based on the
request and the current value for actual active.
-f <from_email_address>
Set Instant Capacity “from” email address. Causes all
Instant Capacity email correspondence from this system
to appear to be sent from from_email_address.
Specifying an empty string (" ") returns to default behavior,
which is to send from the adm user on the local system.
The address specified must be DNS resolvable by HP.
-i <system_id>
Set system identifier used during asset reporting. The
default setting for the system identifier is the hostname of
the Instant Capacity system. This value can be returned to
the default setting by specifying an empty string (""). The
system identifier is a string that users specify to help track
and distinguish their systems.
-r
Reconcile. Activate or deactivate cores (subject to
compliance limits) to bring the system to a state where the
intended active number of cores are active. The -r
option can also be used to undo a deferred (-D) operation,
causing an immediate activation or deactivation.
-w <warning days>
Set temporary capacity warning period to desired number
of days. If not specified, the default warning period is 15
days. The Instant Capacity software calculates when the
temporary capacity expires based on the current
consumption rate. When the temporary capacity balance
is projected to be depleted within the warning period, a
warning message is sent by email to the system contact if
specified, and root. If temporary capacity is depleted and
you continue to have more active cores than core usage
rights across the complex, on the next reboot of any
partition in the complex the software automatically
deactivates one or more cores in order to bring the complex
into a more compliant state. Instant Capacity software
deactivates as many cores as is necessary to either stop
consumption of temporary capacity or to bring the partition
to the minimum number of required active cores.
-s <n>
Sets the number of active cores and the number of intended
active cores to n, as long as the end result does not take
the complex out of compliance. In an nPartition
environment, depending on the value of n, this option
