Upgrading to Instant Capacity versions B.06.x
or B.07.x Software
The first time a version of the new B9073BA Instant Capacity software
(B.06.00 or later) is loaded onto a system where the old B9073AA software
(version B.03.x through B.05.x) has been in use, the new software
requires the system to go through an upgrade process.
This process involves transferring Instant Capacity inventory
information from HP to the system through the application of an
upgrade codeword. This allows the system (using the new B9073BA
software) to keep track of the number of unlicensed components present.
Prior to December 2003, the Instant Capacity software product
(B9073AA) was loaded from Support Plus media and was not present on
the 11i v1 and 11i v2 Operating Environment (OE) media. In December
2003, an updated version of the Instant Capacity software product
(B9073BA) was placed on the 11i v1 and 11i v2 OE media.
The Instant Capacity versions B.06.x or B.07.x software (B9073BA) is
automatically installed when the HP-UX 11i v1 or 11i v2 OE is installed.
When a newer version of the HP-UX 11i v1 or 11i v2 OE is installed in a
partition, the Instant Capacity software in the OE is automatically
updated in that partition.
After the Instant Capacity software is updated in one partition from an
older B9073AA version (B.03.x through B.05.x) to the newer B9073BA
version (B.06.00 or later), the Instant Capacity software in all of the
system’s other partitions needs to be updated before the new software is
completely operational. Until that time, the new software does not have
visibility of the status of partitions running the old software. As a result,
it is likely that exception e-mail will be generated daily from the new
software until all updates are completed.
After the installation of new Instant Capacity B9073BA software on the
first partition, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Execute the following command and record the output:
/usr/sbin/icod_stat -s
You can copy and paste the output of the icod_stat -s command and
save it in a text file. You need this information later in
Step 4.
