The defined capacity report

To create a defined capacity report, issue a REPORT DEFINEDCAPACITY command. For the syntax of this command, see page REPORT DEFINEDCAPACITY. The report contains information about the Defined Capacity of a system that is managed by the Provisioning Manager. The displayed Defined Capacity belongs to an LPAR which runs a system observed by the Provisioning Manager. The report helps you to understand how much Defined Capacity is currently active and which part of it has been provisioned by the Provisioning Manager.

The reported information indicates:

CPC.LPAR
The name of the CPC and LPAR where the Defined Capacity is located.
Sysplex.System
The sysplex and the system name of the system running in the LPAR which provides the management data.
Management state
The current state of the Provisioning Manager for the management of the Defined Capacity. Optionally contains the time when the state will conclude. Possible values are:
initializing 1
Information from the observed system on the LPAR is not yet available.
initializing 2
Defined Capacity information about the LPAR is not yet available from the hardware interface.
not increased
Defined Capacity information of LPAR is available. Defined Capacity has not yet been increased.
blocked
A Defined Capacity increase or decrease has been detected recently. The Provisioning Manager will not perform any Defined Capacity changes until the displayed time.
decrease blocked
The Provisioning Manager has increased Defined Capacity. No Defined Capacity increase is currently needed and increased Defined Capacity that is no longer required will not be decreased before the displayed time.
increased
The Provisioning Manager has increased Defined Capacity. Currently no further changes are needed.
increase suggested
The Provisioning Manager is in analysis mode and has suggested to increased Defined Capacity.
increase requested
The Provisioning Manager is in confirmation mode and currently has an outstanding message asking to confirm the increase of Defined Capacity.
increase rejected
The Provisioning Manager is in confirmation mode and a recommendation to increase Defined Capacity has been rejected by the operator. Recommendations for a Defined Capacity increase will not be issued before the displayed time.
blocked after failure
The Provisioning Manager attempted to change the Defined Capacity but received a notification from the hardware interface that it failed. The Provisioning Manager will not perform any Defined Capacity changes until the displayed time.
change outstanding
The Provisioning Manager initiated a Defined Capacity change that has not been confirmed yet by the observed system running in the affected LPAR.
decrease suggested
The Provisioning Manager is in analysis mode and has suggested to decrease Defined Capacity.
decrease requested
The Provisioning Manager is in confirmation mode and currently has an outstanding message asking to confirm the decrease of Defined Capacity.
decrease rejected
The Provisioning Manager is in confirmation mode and a recommendation to decrease Defined Capacity has been rejected by the operator. Recommendations for a Defined Capacity decrease will not be issued before the displayed time.
policy limit reached
The Provisioning Manager has detected a demand for increased Defined Capacity, but the policy limits have been exhausted. Defined Capacity will not be further increased under the current circumstances.
reinitializing
Information from the observed system on the LPAR is not available after a connectivity problem or a domain configuration change.
connection lost
Connection to the observed system on the LPAR has been lost and is not available again yet.
blocked after restart
The Provisioning Manager has resumed processing and needs to readjust its management.
not managed
in manual mode.
connecting to hardware
The Provisioning Manager is trying to connect to the hardware interface.
global minimum reached
The Provisioning Manager has detected a need for decreased Defined Capacity, but the global minimum limit disallows a further decrease. Defined Capacity will not be decreased under the current circumstances.
For the management states initializing 1, initializing 2, reinitializing, connection lost, and not managed the following values will be displayed as not available.
Policy limit
The policy limit of additional capacity indicates the total additional Defined Capacity in MSU that is currently allowed by active policy elements.
Management base
The Defined Capacity management base indicates the Defined Capacity in MSU at which the Provisioning Manager takes up and eventually concludes management.
Managed capacity
The additional Defined Capacity in MSU which is currently managed by the Provisioning Manager. This is the amount MSU by which the Provisioning Manager has currently increased the Defined Capacity.
Current capacity
The current Defined Capacity in MSU.
Remaining time until capping
The remaining time in minutes until the reported LPAR is expected to be capped by Defined Capacity or Group Capacity.
4 hour rolling average consumption
The current four hour rolling average consumption of the reported LPAR.

An example of a defined capacity report is:
