Releasing an Allocated CAP
The RELease cap-id operator command allows you to release a CAP that is allocated to a
failed host.
A CAP can be left allocated to a system if the HSC terminated without recovery while the
CAP is active.
When you issue the command, appropriate messages inform you of conditions and actions
to take. You are prompted by an initial message to confirm or terminate release of the
specified CAP. This confirmation prevents the release of a CAP that is currently being
used by the system.
This feature is of significant importance to you by giving you control to release a CAP
without having to recycle all of the HSCs that share control data sets.
Refer to Chapter 2, ‘‘Commands, Control Statements, and Utilities’’ in the HSC
Operator’s Guide for detailed information about the RELease CAP command.
