Understanding HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) version 6.x and 7.x Codewords Whitepaper

Applying an upgrade codeword
In this example, the system begins in the state immediately after an upgrade of the iCAP software
from version 5 to version 6 or later. After the software upgrade has been performed, the new
icod_stat command recognizes the situation and reports an exception status of “Upgrade
codeword needs to be applied”. The software upgrade process requires that an upgrade codeword
be retrieved from the HP Utility Pricing Solutions Portal. After the upgrade codeword has been
applied, the exception status is cleared. Note: While in this exception state, the data reported by
icod_stat is unreliable. The upgrade must be completed in order to get valid inventory data from
the icod_stat command.
