Global Instant Capacity, or GiCAP (pronounced "jee iCAP"), is a new optional feature included with HP Instant Capacity Software
version 8.x or later. GiCAP is an extension of Instant Capacity-all previous versions of Instant Capacity have allowed Customers to
move usage rights within a server, and Global Instant Capacity now allows Customers to move usage rights between servers.

GiCAP, the only way to provide this failover scenario is to provision each server with an adequate amount of temporary
capacity in case of potential failures, or configure fully active hardware to sit idle. GiCAP also provides the capability to extract
core usage rights from a completely unavailable server and deploy these usage rights to activate iCAP cores on a failover
partition in another server. Note that cell board and memory usage rights cannot be extracted using this feature.

GiCAP allows usage rights processors, cell boards and memory modules to be loaned and borrowed between servers. In disaster
recovery mode, only core usage rights can be seized from an unavailable server. Instant Capacity cell boards and memory are not
compatible with GiCAP disaster recovery or high availability. Deactivation of resources on one server releases usage rights which
can then be loaned to another server and used to activate Instant Capacity resources. The complex on which the resources are
deactivated is loaning usage rights to the activating (or borrowing) complex.

deactivated is loaning usage rights to the activating (or borrowing) complex.
Usage rights are loaned and borrowed with GiCAP in three steps:
One member of the Group (the loaning member) deactivates resources (cores, cells or memory).
The released usage rights are then moved to another member of the Group (the borrowing member) by the Group Manager.
The borrowing member uses the borrowed usage rights to activate identical iCAP resources (cores, cells or memory).
The released usage rights are then moved to another member of the Group (the borrowing member) by the Group Manager.
The borrowing member uses the borrowed usage rights to activate identical iCAP resources (cores, cells or memory).
Temporary capacity from all members of the Group is available for use by any Group member. GiCAP consolidates all of the
temporary capacity owned by individual servers into one common pool, which means there is only one single temporary capacity
balance to manage, and all servers have access to temporary capacity when needed.
