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 -scommand

 

 

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 -C codeword

 

 

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 -Ccodeword command. The upgrade

 

 

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.
