Groups & Grouping Rules

Groups & Grouping Rules
Global Instant Capacity is built on the concept of a server group, or GiCAP Group. This is a collection of servers that are allowed to
loan and borrow usage rights.

GiCAP Grouping Rules are defined by HP and specify what servers can be grouped. Grouping Rules are downloaded from the Utility
Pricing Solutions Portal as an encrypted file and applied to the GiCAP Group Manager. A readable version of the Grouping Rules is
also available on the Portal. To create a group, the GiCAP Group Manager will check that 1) there are enough Sharing Rights
available, and 2) that the proposed group is supported by the current Grouping Rules.

Only the same class of servers can be grouped together in a GiCAP group, i.e. Superdomes with Superdomes and Mid Range
servers with other Mid Range servers. Any server with Montvale and Montecito processors can be grouped with any other server with
Montvale and Montecito processors irrespective of the clock speed or the cache size as long as they are of the same class. Also any
HP 9000 server with PA8900 processors (on both sx1000 and sx2000) can be grouped with an HP Integrity server with Montvale or
Montecito processors, provided that the servers are of the same class. For e.g. an rp8440 with PA8900 1.068 GHz, 3MB can be
grouped with an rx7640 with Montvale 1.6GHz, 24MB. For all other processor types, only servers with identical processors (e.g.
same processor product number) can be grouped together.

NOTE:

NOTE: GiCAP moves usage rights for cell boards with memory as well as usage rights for processors. When deactivating a cell, you
also deactivate the memory on that cell. An Instant Capacity cell with the same amount (or less) of Instant Capacity memory can then
be activated in another server. This capability is available only when both servers have at least one partition accessible by the GiCAP
Group Manager and therefore, is not recommended for high availability or disaster recovery scenarios.

There is no restriction on location of group members, but Customers are responsible for adhering to all applicable import/export
laws and customs regulations.

NOTE:

NOTE: GiCAP group size should be limited to fewer than 9 complexes, or fewer than 20 hard partitions, for optimal performance.

Software licenses that can move between servers with Global Instant Capacity

Software licenses that can move between servers with Global Instant Capacity
In the case of processors, GiCAP moves both the hardware usage right (Right to Use, or "RTU") and some per-core licensed software
(License to Use, or "LTU"). When describing movement of processor resources with GiCAP, we refer to the movement of both the RTU
and the LTU(s).

Not all HP Software can be moved between servers using GiCAP. Only the per-core licensed software listed in the table below can be
moved. For example, HP software that is licensed per partition or per cluster cannot be moved with GiCAP. Note that GiCAP is not
supported on OpenVMS. Additionally, only the "with system" software license product numbers are listed here for brevity. Please note
that the corresponding add on software Product Numbers also apply.
