Instant Capacity Software

What software product is required for Instant Capacity on

Itanium-based servers running HP-UX 11i v2?

The HP software bundle for the Instant Capacity versions B.07.x software, on Itanium-based servers running HP-UX 11i v1 or 11i v2, is HP product number B9073BA.

Can one HP enterprise server be under both a Pay per use (PPU) and Instant Capacity contract at the same time?

No, the Pay per use and Instant Capacity software bundles are mutually exclusive. They can both be installed on the same HP enterprise server, but because the server can only be purchased using either PPU or Instant Capacity (but not both), the server can only be configured for the purchased pricing solution.
