HP Instant Capacity Version 10.x User Guide HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2, and HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-3361, December 2013)

NOTE: It is advisable not to downgrade the iCAP version. If done so, GiCAP database version
does not change.
The following error message can be seen, while executing the icapmanage command: "This
version of iCAP does not support version X database”.
To resolve this issue, update the iCAP version and recreate the GiCAP setup.
If you restore an OS image for the active Group Manager, the latest GiCAP database might get
overwritten with the older one. The overwrite operation might also occur on the standby Group
Manager with the periodical GiCAP database transfer.
To avoid such accidental overwrite operations, you might consider making the standby Group
Manager the active Group Manager with the command icapmanage -Q. If you do not want to
execute icapmanage -Q on the standby Group Manager or configure a standby Group Manager,
it would be a good idea to have a copy of the latest GiCAP database on any server at all times.
To recover the latest GiCAP database on the active Group Manager after the OS restore operation,
perform the following operation :
# cimprovider -dm HP_GiCAPProviderModule
# scp -p root@<SGM or anywhere>:<...>/GiCAP_db.latest
/etc/opt/iCAP/GiCAP_db
# cimprovider -em HP_GiCAPProviderModule
