Use the ACTIVATE GROUPCAPACITY command to manually increase the Group
Capacity for a capacity group. You can identify the group either by
the name of the group and the name of the CPC on which the group is
defined, or by the name of the z/OS system and sysplex running in
an LPAR that is connected to the group. In the second case, the z/OS
system needs to be defined in the active domain configuration. In
every case the respective CPC has to be defined in the active domain
configuration.
Note:
The number that is supplied
as the MSU parameter is the total limit to which the Group Capacity
should be increased, not the number of MSU by which you want to increase
the limit.
Before performing the activation,
the Provisioning Manager checks for the following conditions:
that the specified group is uniquely identified,
that at the HMC Group Capacity is turned on for the group,
that the target limit is an increase, meaning that the new Group
Capacity is higher than the current Group Capacity.
The name of the sysplex to
which the specified system belongs.
SYS=name
The name of the system running
in an LPAR belonging to the group for which you want to increase the
Group Capacity.
CPC=name
The name of the CPC on which
to find the specified capacity group.
GROUP=name
The name of a capacity group for which you want to increase the Group Capacity. An LPAR
must belong to the specified group.
MSU=limit
The new Group Capacity for the specified capacity group. The
limit is specified in MSU. The new value must be higher than the current
Group Capacity and Group Capacity must be turned on for the group
at the HMC. A maximum value of 100000 MSU can be specified.
Example
To increase the Group Capacity for
group GROUP1 on CPC CPC1 to 1000 MSU, issue the following command:
