HP Instant Capacity release notes for Version 10.x (5900-1258, October 2010)

Software Requirements
Every HP-UX and OpenVMS partition in an Instant Capacity system is required to have the
Instant Capacity software installed and the icapd daemon running (on HP-UX systems), or the
ICAP_SERVER process running (on OpenVMS systems). You must maintain the Instant Capacity
software until all program requirements are fulfilled and until the system is no longer considered
an Instant Capacity system. If you are using GiCAP, all systems must be running Instant Capacity
version 9.x (or later).
NOTE: For necessary HP-UX updates, install the latest Operating Environments Update Release
(OEUR) or Application Release (AR) update, if possible. This ensures that you install all required
products and versions. Instant Capacity does not work correctly with HP-UX releases prior to
December 2004.
Your Instant Capacity system is ordered and shipped with all of the following required software
and dependent products, except for the vPars software and the GiCAP requirement on the CIM
Server configuration property. If your system’s operating system is reinstalled or installed with
Ignite-UX, ensure that the following software requirements are satisfied.
HP-UX 11i v1 Requirements and Dependent Products
The following software is required for Instant Capacity version 9.x (or later) on HP-UX 11i v1:
• HP-UX 11i v1
• iCAP software bundle B9073BA (version 9.x or later) — On the 11i v1 Applications Software
media, or download the most recent version from the HP Software Depot at http://
www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot.
• The kernel configuration must include the diag2 module.
• WBEM B8465BA bundle (version A.02.05 or higher)
• nParProvider bundle (version B.12.01.06.02 or higher, available from the OE media)
• If you have a virtual partitioned environment, the Virtual Partitions (vPars) software (bundle
T1335AC) must be version A.03.05 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 on setting sslClientVerificationMode, see
“Upgrading Version 8.x Groups to Version 9.x or Later” (page 36). Note that communication
between the managers and members of groups is established using SSL certificates that are
supplied by the GiCAP software.
