iCAP Processors problem

Wilder Mellotto — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 03:19:27 GMT

Hi,
We have two rx8640 server with: 2 cell, 4 cpu (8 cores) in each cell (16 core total), 32GB RAM in each cell.
This rx8640 came with 8 active cores and 8 deactive cores for use with GiCAP with the other complex (8 core sharing GiCAP).

When we applied the AB487A (HP Mid iCAP Montecito 1.6GHz 24MB 1c RTU) the complex deacticvated 5 cores with the message: "Deactivated CPUs during TiCAP Enforcement".

After this, I received this output:

[mlsrvhp08-/var/adm] icapstatus

Where this complex get "Number of cores without usage rights: 42" and 96GB RAM.

I need to reset this information and returning use of my 8 licensed cores.

Please, if anyone could help I appreciate.

This is not something you are going to get fixed with the assistance of ITRC forum members. You need to get a call logged with the response centre *immediately* - they'll need to compare you're configuration against what was sold and what's in the utility pricing portal and then help you fix this (potentially with emergency codewords). That's just not something that fellow forum members can helop with.
