Does the upgrade of one partition on a server to iCAP v8 mean that every partition must be

upgraded? No, not for basic iCAP functionality. iCAP v8 is compatible with older versions

back to v6. Earlier versions of iCAP need to be upgraded, as described in “Upgrading to Instant

Capacity versions B.06.x or later (HP-UX)” (page 171). However, in order to use the GiCAP feature,

all partitions of a server must be running version 8 or later of the iCAP software, and a Group

Manager must be an HP-UX system running iCAP version 8.01.01 or later. In order to use the

Disaster Recovery features of GiCAP, the Group Manager must be running iCAP version 8.02.01

or later, and all known hosts on the complex containing a failed group member must be running

iCAP version 8.02 or later.
