HP Instant Capacity Release Notes for Versions 8.x

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 the system is no longer considered an
Instant Capacity system. If you are using Global Instant Capacity, all systems must be running
Instant Capacity versions 8.x.
NOTE: For necessary HP-UX updates, we recommend that you install the latest OEUR or AR
update, if possible. This ensures that you install all required products and versions. Also note
that Instant Capacity will 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, with the exception of the vPars software. In the event your system’s
operating system is reinstalled or installed with Ignite-UX, ensure that the following software
requirements are satisfied.
