HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for Version 9.x

7.2 Global Instant Capacity Requirements
To use Global Instant Capacity, the Group Manager and all partitions on all servers in the group
must be running Instant Capacity version 9.0 or later. Every GiCAP group member must be
hardware-compatible with other GiCAP group members as determined by the GiCAP grouping
rules.
WBEM version A.02.05 or higher must be installed on the Group Manager and on all member
systems in order to use GiCAP. 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, see cimconfig(1M). Note
that communication between the managers and members of groups is established using SSL
certificates that are supplied by the GiCAP software.
To create a GiCAP group with members, you must purchase GiCAP sharing rights, acquire the
GiCAP codeword from the HP Utility Pricing Solutions portal, and apply the associated codeword
to the Group Manager system. GiCAP sharing rights are described in “Global Instant Capacity
Sharing Rights” (page 106).
For a complete list of all software requirements, see “Instant Capacity Requirements” (page 26).
