Instant Capacity Requirements

NOTE

Instant Capacity Requirements

Program Requirements

You must comply with the following HP Utility Pricing Solutions conditions to participate in the Instant Capacity versions B.07.x program:

•Maintain the HP Instant Capacity software on each HP-UX partition in the system — it is a non-intrusive and low-overhead software module that resides on the partition

•Migrate to later Instant Capacity software versions as they become available

For the specific details on your individual program requirements, refer to your Utility Pricing Solutions contract from HP or your authorized channel partner. Participants of the Utility Pricing Solutions program who do not meet these requirements may be in breach of contract. This results in unnecessary expense for both the program participant and HP.

Software Requirements

Every HP-UX partition in an Instant Capacity system is required to have the Instant Capacity software installed and the icodd daemon running. You must maintain the software until all program requirements are fulfilled and the system is no longer considered an Instant Capacity system.

For necessary updates, we recommend that you install the latest OEUR or AR update, if possible. If you must install individual components, you may run into issues due to mutual corequisite products. For example, NPar requires a certain version of Instant Capacity and vice versa. To simultaneously satisfy both prerequisites you must install both bundles from the same depot (as on an OEUR or AR distribution or from a depot you create from swcopy).
