Viewing the iCap logs

You can use the log function to see how LPARs and groups are being managed, and to better understand any changes that are made to the master PAS.

The log function records changes in the iCap environment. iCap creates an interval record each time an important event occurs (such as initializing a PAS, changing a policy, changing defined capacities, or changing the MSU limit).
