Changing the RESTORE parameter

Use the following procedure to change the RESTORE parameter.

  1. From the master console, issue the following command: 

    /F <masterPas>,RESTORE=<option>

    Possible values for option are:

    Option

    Description

    YES (the default)

    Restores DCs and GCLs to the values they had when the master PAS initialized.

    NO

    Leaves DCs and GCLs as they were when iCap stopped managing the LPAR or group, or the PAS terminated.

    ZERO

    Sets DCs to 0 and GCLs to the value they had when the PAS initialized.

    ENT

    Sets the DC and GCL values based on entitlement:

    • For LPARs, iCap sets the DC according to the LPAR's entitlement level.
    • For groups, iCap sets the GCL according to the group's entitlement level.

    • For group members that are being managed individually, iCap sets the GCL to the sum of the individual members' entitlements. 

      Note

      The DC of each group member is set to MAXDCGCL, or to 0 if you did not specify MAXDCGCL.

    For more information, see iCap-PAS-started-task-parameters.

Note

Issuing a MODIFY command does not automatically restore DCs and GCLs. The change will take effect only if any of the following conditions exist:

  • You activate a new policy.
  • The master PAS terminates.
  • You switch from manage mode to message or observe mode.

Also, after the master PAS terminates, RESTORE will revert back to the mode that is specified in the master PAS JCL.
