Installing and Configuring iCOD
on nPartitions
NOTE This section describes iCOD software install and configuration for an
nPartition server complex.
You also must establish a contract with HP for either iCOD Purchase or
iCOD Utility (pay per use) to properly use this software product.
Software bundles for iCOD Purchase and iCOD Utility are available on
the Support Plus media and at the http://software.hp.com Web site.
For complete details on installing and using iCOD software, refer to the
Instant Capacity on Demand (iCOD) and Pay Per Use (PPU) User’s
Guide.
The following procedure gives an overview of initially installing and
configuring iCOD Purchase or iCOD Utility on an nPartition server
complex.
Step 1. Install the appropriate iCOD software bundle on all required nPars in
the server complex.
On nPartition server complexes that have iCOD Purchase contracts, you
must install the iCOD Purchase software on those nPars in the complex
that have iCOD processors. (For greater flexibility in load balancing
iCOD processors HP recommends installing iCOD Purchase software on
all nPars.)
On nPartition servers that have iCOD Utility (pay per use) contracts,
you must install the iCOD Utility software on every nPar in the complex.
If you expect to boot an nPar from different devices—even on rare
occasions—you must install the appropriate iCOD software bundle on all
potential boot devices (such as the devices at the PRI, HAA, and ALT
boot paths).
Step 2. [An HP service representative must perform this step.]
Validate the server complex as an iCOD server.
