The group capacity report

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

The reported information indicates:

Group name
Name of the capacity group.
CPC name
Name of the processor complex on which the capacity group is defined.
Management state
The current state of the Provisioning Manager for the management of the Group Capacity. Optionally contains the time when the state will conclude. Possible values are:
initializing 1
Information from an observed system on an LPAR belonging to the capacity group is not yet available.
initializing 2
Group capacity information about the capacity group is not yet available from the hardware interface.
not increased
Group capacity information is available. Group capacity has not yet been increased.
blocked
A Group Capacity increase or decrease has been detected recently. The Provisioning Manager will not perform any Group Capacity changes until the displayed time.
decrease blocked
The Provisioning Manager has increased Group Capacity. No Group Capacity increase is currently needed and increased Group Capacity that is no longer required will not be decreased before the displayed time.
increased
The Provisioning Manager has increased Group Capacity. Currently no further changes are needed.
increase suggested
The Provisioning Manager is in analysis mode and has suggested to increased Group Capacity.
increase requested
The Provisioning Manager is in confirmation mode and currently has an outstanding message asking to confirm the increase of Group Capacity.
increase rejected
The Provisioning Manager is in confirmation mode and a recommendation to increase Group Capacity has been rejected by the operator. Recommendations for a Group Capacity increase will not be issued before the displayed time.
blocked after failure
The Provisioning Manager attempted to change the Group Capacity but received a notification from the hardware interface that it failed. The Provisioning Manager will not perform any Group Capacity changes until the displayed time.
change outstanding
The Provisioning Manager initiated a Group Capacity change that has not been confirmed yet by an observed system running in an LPAR belonging to the capacity group.
decrease suggested
The Provisioning Manager is in analysis mode and has suggested to decrease Group Capacity.
decrease requested
The Provisioning Manager is in confirmation mode and currently has an outstanding message asking to confirm the decrease of Group Capacity.
decrease rejected
The Provisioning Manager is in confirmation mode and a recommendation to decrease Group Capacity has been rejected by the operator. Recommendations for a Group Capacity decrease will not be issued before the displayed time.
policy limit reached
The Provisioning Manager has detected a demand for increased Group Capacity, but the policy limits have been exhausted. Group capacity will not be further increased under the current circumstances.
reinitializing
Information from any observed system on an LPAR belonging to the capacity group is not available after a connectivity problem or a domain configuration change.
connection lost
Connection to any observed system on an LPAR belonging to the capacity group 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
The Provisioning Manager is 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 Group Capacity, but the global minimum limit disallows a further decrease. Group 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 shown as not available.
Policy limit
The policy limit of additional capacity indicates the total additional Group Capacity in MSU that is currently allowed by policy elements.
Management base
The Group Capacity management base indicates the Group Capacity in MSU at which the Provisioning Manager takes up and eventually concludes management.
Managed capacity
The additional Group 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 Group Capacity.
Current capacity
The current Group Capacity in MSU.
