Instant Capacity and Reinitializing the nPartition (Genesis Partitions)
Any use of the CC command at the service processor level has the potential to overwrite the
Instant Capacity configuration, and is therefore not recommended on Instant Capacity systems.
In particular, creating a Genesis Partition on an Instant Capacity system is not recommended
because it causes the system to be out of compliance.
If you clear the configuration of a system that has Instant Capacity components (components
without usage rights), you must acquire and apply a codeword that restores a lost iCAP
configuration to remain in compliance with your contract. Because the codeword can be generated
only by using a recent audit snapshot of the system, generate an audit snapshot with
icapstatus -s before doing the reset or, if asset reporting is configured, make sure that a
recent asset report was sent to the portal.
