1 Instant Capacity support for HP Integrity Superdome 2 with Dynamic Cores release notes HP Instant Capacity 10.06.00 (OS version) and HP Instant Capacity Firmware bundled with HP Integrated Firmware bundle for HP Integrity Superdome 2 with Dynamic Cores release includes the updates to the HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) to support HP Integrity Superdome 2 with Dynamic Cores.

iCAP commands All the iCAP commands can be executed from both operating system and OA command line interface. The only difference between the two methods of execution is as follows: • While executing icapmodify command from OS, the partition ID parameter must not be mentioned, the current partition ID is taken as default ID. • While executing icapmodify command from OA, the partition ID parameter must be mentioned explicitly. All the commands continue to work from OA command line interface.

Handling errors while re-adding GiCAP member When re-adding the member to the GM the below steps needs to be executed from both Active GM and the standby GM. The same steps to be followed when a member, which is earlier part of the group is removed and is being added again. 1. Execute the cimtrust -l command to view the list of certificates available in the GM (AGM and SGM). 2. Look for the certificate which contains the Common Name mentioned in the OA certificate on the member.
Split GiCAP groups If the active Group Manager system is unavailable, an administrator can ensure that a standby Group Manager takes control of the group operations at any time using the icapmanage -Q command. While this can be done routinely (for example, to allow shutting down a functioning, active Group Manager for maintenance), normally, this command is executed either when the active Group Manager has failed, or when a network outage prevents it from communicating with the group members.
Connection is lost between GM and Member, in case of OA failover During OA failover (if ENCLOSURE_IP_MODE is not enabled on the member OA), GM does not know the hostname or the IP Address of the new Active OA. To resolve this issue: 1. Delete the certificate from cimtrust (in AGM, SGM). 2. Add a member (active OA) with new IP or hostname. 3. Execute icapmanage -s on the GM to check for member reachability.
