HP Instant Capacity Version 10.x User Guide (5900-1581, March 2011)

• nParProvider bundle (version B.31.01.07.01 or higher, available from the OE media)
• If you have a virtual partitioned environment, the Virtual Partitions (vPars) software (bundle
T1335BC) must be version A.05.01 or higher. vPars is available separately and is not included
with the OE.
• (GiCAP only) The CIM Server configuration property sslClientVerificationMode must be set to
a value of “optional” on all GiCAP Group Managers and on all OS instances of all member
systems. (The CIM Server may need to be restarted if the property was not previously set to
this value.) For details, see cimconfig(1M). Note that communication between the managers
and members of groups is established using SSL certificates that are supplied by the GiCAP
software.
Required Patches for HP-UX 11i v3
For Instant Capacity Version 10.00 and later, on HP–UX 11i v3 HP Integrity systems, patch
PHCO_40927 must be installed. This is a co-requisite.
OpenVMS Version 8.4 Requirements
The following software is required for Instant Capacity version 9.x on OpenVMS Version 8.4:
• HP OpenVMS Version 8.4 for Integrity Servers or later
• iCAP software bundle BA484AA (version 9.x) — Included with OpenVMS Version 8.4 and
automatically installed on relevant systems when Version 8.4 is initially installed
• WBEMCIM bundle ( version X2.92 or higher) — Optionally installed with OpenVMS Version
8.4
• nParProvider bundle — Installed with OpenVMS Version 8.4
• SSL bundle (version SSL 1.4 or higher) — Optionally installed with OpenVMS Version 8.4
Network Requirements
GiCAP and iCAP do not use any network ports directly. However, version 9.0 GiCAP uses
WBEM/SSL for the communication protocol, requiring use of the CIM HTTPS port 5989. GiCAP
also uses ping (which uses port 7 for the echo protocol) and host lookup services (getaddrinfo
and getnameinfo) which may use the Domain Name System (DNS), Network Information Service
(NIS), or a local host file to provide the lookup function.
Email Requirements
For some configurations, previous versions of the Instant Capacity software (prior to B.07.x) required
email connectivity to HP in order to send asset reports as encrypted email messages. Instant Capacity
version B.07.x and later no longer require email connectivity or asset reporting, however, you can
choose to configure it because it can be useful for viewing complexwide asset information at the
Utility Pricing Solutions portal (http://www.hp.com/go/icap/portal).
