Reinstalling Instant Capacity Software

Preserving current Instant Capacity information

If you reinstall HP-UX on a partition with Instant Capacity (for example, installing HP-UX by either cold-installing or installing from a “golden image”), all information in the Instant Capacity configuration file disappears unless you do the following:

1.Before the reinstall, manually save your Instant Capacity data and processor allocation history by backing up the following files:

a./etc/.iCOD_data

b./var/adm/icod.log

c./var/adm/icod.log.old

These files are restored in Step 3 below.

2.Install the appropriate HP-UX Operating Environment (OE) from its media onto the partition. The Instant Capacity B.07.x software bundle B9073BA is installed automatically when the HP-UX OE is installed.

3.Restore your Instant Capacity data and processor allocation history files:

a./etc/.iCOD_data

b./var/adm/icod.log

c./var/adm/icod.log.old

If the above procedure is not done, all of the Instant Capacity change history and system-contact information is lost.
