Re: Procedure to locate/idnetify an iCAP processor
Find the attached zip file containing
1. icapstatus_before_removing_cell.txt
"total cores 24, active 18 inactive 6"
2. icapstatus_after_removing_cell.txt
"total cores 16, active 16 inactive 0"
from system A.
This means all the CPUs on system A are active.
And now if I add the removed cell to System B
the number of active cell would increase by 8 cores and no inactive core.
Need your expert opinion.

Re: Procedure to locate/idnetify an iCAP processor
Number of cores without usage rights: 6
Number of inactive cores: 0
Number of cores that must be deactivated (insufficient usage rights): 6
So iCAP thinks you should deactivate 6 cores... I'm not sure why this hasn't been enforced, but I would expect it to be at least at the next occasion that you reboot the partition. When did you take out the cell board? What version of iCAP are you run nning?

Re: Procedure to locate/idnetify an iCAP processor
You mean to say, at next reboot, the six cores will be marked iCAP(inactive)?
I removed the cell a day before and did not reboot the partition yet.
Below is the version
iCAP-Mgr A.04.00.07.33 iCAP Manager SMH
iCOD B.11.31.09.00.00.140 Instant Capacity

Re: Procedure to locate/idnetify an iCAP processor
Yes, I mean precisely that - this complex is currently "out of compliance", and the iCAP software will correct that at next reboot (or at least it should).

Re: Procedure to locate/idnetify an iCAP processor
It is confusing to me.
I have usage rights for 18 active core and no usage rights for 6 iCAP cores.(total 24 cores)
Now I removed 8 cores and left with 16 cores, as per my usage rights, I can use these 16 cores as active, which is 2 cores less than 18 cores.
If I add more cores to this partition and this becomes greater than 18, then the cores next to 18 would become inactive.
Please correct if I am wrong.
Regards,
Abid Iqbal

Re: Procedure to locate/idnetify an iCAP processor
No - You had Usage rights for 18 cores and iCAP for 6 cores.
You took out a cell board which had 8 active cores. You can't "move" inactive cores out of a complex, iCAP stays with the complex.
So you now have usage rights for 10 active cores and 6 iCAP cores.
You can keep asking the same question, but the answer will remain the same - you can't get more active cores in total across your environments by just moving cell boards to other systems!

Re: Procedure to locate/idnetify an iCAP processor
I don't agree with this statement.
Coz this contradicts the document provided by you.

Re: Procedure to locate/idnetify an iCAP processor
I think you need to read that section again more carefully... that section gives details of what happens when you take a cell out of a partition, but *it remains in the iCAP system*.
I think I also pointed you at section A.5 on p189 which describes the situation when you actually take the cell board out of the system, specifically:
"However, a complex can also get out of compliance if a cell is removed from the complex. For
example, if a cell contains inactive cores that are contributing to compliance, and the cell is
removed, there will be fewer inactive cores in the complex. This can result in the complex being
out of compliance, and temporary capacity might begin to be debited."
Keep trying to change the rules if you like!
