HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and Configuration Guide (v09.06.16)

4.4.5 iCAP Version
NOTE: When using dual-core Intel® Itanium® (Montecito) systems, iCAP requires iCAP
version 8.x or higher. For more information, please see the iCAP v8.x product release notes
available at http://docs.hp.com.
vPars A.05.xx HP-UX 11i v3 systems require iCAP version 8.01.x or higher; vPars itself has
no special requirements.
vPars A.04.xx For vPars A.04.xx and iCAP B.07.xx, see the A.04.xx resources chapter of the
HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator’s Guide for information on using iCAP B.07.xx with vPars
A.04.xx.
vPars A.03.xx The hang during shutdown documented on page 25 of the vPars A.03.01 RBI
is fixed with iCAP B.06.02.
vPars A.03.05 vPars A.03.05 requires iCAP version 8.03 or later.
NOTE: If you are updating to vPars A.03.05, or are configuring a mixed 11i v1/v2 vPars
environment, you must install iCAP version 8.03 (B.11.11.08.03.00) on each HP–UX 11i v1 virtual
partition. This will also install the required versions of WBEM and NParProvider and necessary
patches.
Installing iCAP 8.03 onto an HP–UX 11i v1 system running versions of vPars prior to A.03.05
will exhibit an error message which can be ignored, and you can proceed with updating the
vPars software. After the vPars installation (which includes halting every virtual partition and
rebooting the nPartition to the new vPars Monitor), you must go to each HP–UX 11i v1 virtual
partition and run the command swconfig -v B9073BA to complete the iCAP installation.
4.4.6 PPU Version
vPars A.05.xx and vPars A.04.xx vPars supports both PPU Percent Utilization and PPU Active
CPU.
vPars A.03.xx vPars supports PPU Percent Utilization.
4.4.7 Partition Manager and Virtual Partition Manager
vPars A.05.xx and vPars A.04.xx
Partition Manager (parmgr)
Partition Manager is no longer required for installation of
vPars.
Virtual Partition Manager
(vparmgr)
The vparmgr graphical user interface (GUI) is not available
for vPars A.05.xx and vPars A.04.xx.
vPars A.03.xx
Partition Manager (parmgr) Partition Manager (parmgr) version B.11.11.01.05 or later
is required for installation of the vPars product. This is
true on both nPartitionable servers, as well as
non-nPartitionable servers (rp7400/N4000 and
rp5470/L3000). (It is normal to have this product installed
but not used on non-nPartitionable servers.) A compatible
version is available from the HP Software Depot. The HP
Software Depot home is at http://www.hp.com/go/
softwaredepot.
Virtual Partition Manager
(vparmgr)
Virtual Partition Manager (vparmgr) GUI is available, as
an alternative to the command-line interface, to simplify
configuration and management of vPars. This is included
