HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for Versions 8.x

Measurement Software and Instant Capacity Systems
Systems with Instant Capacity components (and systems contributing usage rights to Instant
Capacity systems) may have fewer active cores than the total number of cores in the system. This
fundamental difference between the number of active cores and the total number of cores can
cause some processor measurement products and utilities to report incorrect information.
Additionally, when a core is dynamically activated, some software products must recognize the
change in the number of active cores in order to report correct processing information.
OpenView Measurement Products
OpenView measurement products, such as MeasureWare and GlancePlus, must be version C.02.60
or later to provide correct measurements. Earlier versions of the OpenView measurement products
may not work correctly on Instant Capacity systems.
On hp Integrity Superdome Systems
On hp Integrity Superdome systems, HP recommends updating to the GlancePlus Pak version
C.03.20 or later.
Other Measurement Software
Please check with your measurement software vendor to ensure their software works properly
on Instant Capacity systems and update the measurement software versions as needed.
