| Special Considerations |
|
| Upgrading to Instant Capacity versions B.06.x or B.07.x Software |
Step | 2. | Go to the HP Utility Pricing Solutions web portal: |
|
| http://hp.com/go/icod/portal. Log into the portal and click on the link |
|
| to get codewords. |
Step | 3. | Click on the Upgrade Codeword link to get an upgrade codeword. |
Step | 4. | Supply the requested information from the icod_stat |
|
| output gathered in Step 1 and get the upgrade codeword from the portal. |
|
| You need the codeword in the next step. |
Step | 5. | Apply the upgrade codeword, generated by the Utility Pricing Solutions |
|
| portal, to the system by executing: |
|
| /usr/sbin/icod_modify |
|
| Where codeword is the upgrade codeword that was supplied by the |
|
| portal in Step 4. This is easily accomplished by copying and pasting the |
|
| codeword (that is generated by the portal) to the system where you are |
|
| executing the icod_modify |
|
| codeword needs to be applied only once on the entire system. |
Step | 6. | Install/upgrade all other partitions with the Instant Capacity B9073BA |
|
| software (version B.06.00 or later). This software is on the 11i v1 and 11i |
|
| v2 OE media, starting with the December 2003 media, and is |
|
| automatically installed when either the 11i v1 or 11i v2 OE is installed. |
|
| The software is also available from the HP web site: |
|
| http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot (search for “B9073BA”). If you |
|
| do not complete this step, in the absence of other information, the |
|
| Instant Capacity software assumes that all partitions that have not been |
|
| upgraded are fully active. If all partitions in a system are not upgraded, |
|
| the Instant Capacity software may determine the system to be in an |
|
| exception state. |
Step | 7. | Execute the following command: |
|
| /usr/sbin/icod_stat |
Inspect the icod_stat command output for the line that indicates the Exception status (near the top of the output). If it displays “No exception”, your system is in compliance. Inspect the remainder of the output to see the distribution of your active and inactive processors in the system and modify it using /usr/sbin/icod_modify if you want to make changes.
