HP Instant Capacity product overview

This section describes the changes in the HP Instant Capacity product on OA Firmware. The basic

features of iCAP are not modified by the introduction of iCAP on OA. However, there are some

significant changes.

iCAP commands

All the iCAP commands can be executed from both operating system and OA command line

interface. The only difference is

• While executing icapmodify command from OS, the partition ID parameter must not be

mentioned, the current partition ID is taken as default ID.

• While executing icapmodify command from OA, the partition ID parameter must be

mentioned explicitly.

All the commands continue to work from OA command line interface. For more information about

commands, see Chapter titled iCAP HP-UX Manpages for HP Integrity Superdome 2 with Dynamic
