HP Instant Capacity support for HP Integrity Superdome 2 with Dynamic Cores - Release Notes (762795-001, March 2014)

This problem can be solved by using TiCAP to boot up the partition. Use the command icapmodify

–T on to turn on the TiCAP pre-authorization flag on OA. See the TiCAP pre-authorization usage

matrix, in the HP Integrity Superdome 2 with dynamic cores chapter in HP Instant Capacity 10.x

User Guide.

Command timeout

When a command timeout occurs while executing icapmodify -a or -d,

there can be a mismatch between Intended Active and Actual Active values. You must execute

icapmodify -s to correct this mismatch.

Expiration time for TiCAP in warning message in OA syslog is not correct

If the warning period message appears in the OA syslog, the complex is in warning period. If the

expiration time for TiCAP is not logged correctly in this message, refer to the icapstatus command

output for TiCAP expiration time.

NOTE: If firmware version 3.6.48 or later is installed on HP Integrity Superdome 2, the expiration

date appears both in the OA syslog and the email message, but the actual expiration time doesn't

appear.

Low-level WBEM errors (HP-UX)

Occasionally, on a busy system, especially one with many partitions, you may see errors, such as

the following:

ERROR: The following low-level WBEM error occurred:

Empty HTTP response message.

or:

ERROR: The following low-level WBEM error occurred:

Locking or unlocking the target failed.

These errors result from contention for system resources from the various partitions in the complex.

If you see these messages, retry the Instant Capacity operation.

Restarting OA updates old audit snapshot information

Active OA continues to have the old hardware resource information even after the memory and

processors are replaced or repaired. In this case, restarting OA is necessary to update the audit

snapshot information.

Creating a codeword for upgrading Superdome 2 from 16-socket to 32-socket

You need to execute icapstatus -s either from OA or HP-UX on the 16-socket system prior to

the hardware upgrade and create an upgrade codeword on the iCAP portal http://www.hp.com/

go/icap/portal. By clicking Upgrade Codeword, you can launch the Create Superdome 2

codeword for 16-socket to 32-socket Upgrade wizard.

You need to apply the upgrade codeword after the physical upgrade task.

GiCAP Known problems (HP-UX)

Resolving errors during addition of a standby GM

While adding a standby GM there is a possibility of certificate exchange failure

for the Superdome 2 members. This can be resolved by re-adding the member to the GM.
