Frequently Asked Questions
Instant Capacity Software
Chapter 8 117
How does Instant Capacity interact/coexist with partitions running
software other than HP-UX?
Instant Capacity is only supported on HP-UX. If other partitions of an
Instant Capacity system are running another operating system, then the
Instant Capacity software assumes that all the system components in
the non-HP-UX partitions are active licensed components. When
checking for the correct number of inactive unlicensed components, only
the HP-UX partitions will be examined.
What e-mail is sent by the Instant Capacity software?
The following table lists the e-mail messages sent to the system from the
Instant Capacity software:
