Measurement Software on Instant Capacity Systems

Measurement Software on Instant Capacity

Systems

Instant Capacity systems inherently have fewer active processors than the total number of processors in the system. This fundamental difference between the number of active processors and the total number of processors can cause some processor measurement products and utilities to report incorrect information. Additionally, when a processor is dynamically activated, some software products must recognize the change in the number of active processors in order to report correct processor related information.

OpenView Measurement Products

OpenView measurement products, such as MeasureWare and GlancePlus, must be version C.02.60 or later to provide correct processor measurements. Earlier versions of the OpenView measurement products may not work correctly on Instant Capacity systems.

On hp Integrity On hp Integrity Superdome systems, HP recommends updating to the

Superdome GlancePlus Pak version C.03.20 or later.

Other Measurement Software
