Special Considerations

Upgrading to Instant Capacity versions B.06.x or B.07.x Software

Step

8.

If the Exception status in Step 7 indicates that there are more

 

 

processors, cells, or memory active than expected, you need to deactivate

 

 

the appropriate number of each component in order to bring the system

 

 

into compliance with the Instant Capacity contract.

Step

9.

From the output in Step 7, verify that the correct system-contact

 

 

information is specified. If necessary, update the contact information by

 

 

executing:

 

 

/usr/sbin/icod_modify -c contact_e-mail_address

Step 10. Ensure you have installed all of the required HP-UX patches on each partition. See “Required Patches for HP-UX 11i v1” on page 25 for details. If necessary, obtain missing patches from the web site: http://us-support2.external.hp.com. Detailed instructions on installing each patch are available on this web site.

Step 11. If e-mail connectivity is required (when upgrading to B.06.x), or if asset reporting is being used with B.07.x: Execute the following command:

/usr/sbin/icod_notify reply_address

This command verifies that your sendmail configuration is capable of sending e-mail messages to the hp.com domain. The icod_notify command needs to be executed with an e-mail address as an argument. The e-mail address is the address HP uses when responding to the e-mail sent from the Instant Capacity system and is the e-mail address to which the HP acknowledgement message is sent.

Using elm, or any e-mail reader, verify receipt of the acknowledgement e-mail from HP. The message should be received within one hour.
