HP-UX 11i v3 Requirements and Dependent Products
The following software is required for Instant Capacity version 9.x on HP-UX 11i v3:
• HP-UX 11i v3
• iCOD software bundle B9073BA (version 9.x) — Installed automatically when the HP-UX
11i v3 Operating Environment (OE) is installed, or download the most recent version from
the HP Software Depot at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot.
• The kernel configuration must include the diag2 module.
• WBEMSvcs bundle (version A.02.05 or higher)
• nParProvider bundle (version B.31.01.07.01 or higher, available from the OE media)
• If you have a virtual partitioned environment, the Virtual Partitions (vPars) software (bundle
T1335BC) must be version A.05.01 or higher. vPars is available separately and is not included
with the OE.
• (GiCAP only) 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.
OpenVMS Version 8.4 Requirements
The following software is required for Instant Capacity version 9.x on OpenVMS Version 8.4:
• HP OpenVMS Version 8.4 for Integrity Servers or later
• iCAP software bundle BA484AA (version 9.x) — Included with OpenVMS Version 8.4 and
automatically installed on relevant systems when Version 8.4 is initially installed
• WBEMCIM bundle ( version X2.92 or higher) — Optionally installed with OpenVMS Version
8.4
• nParProvider bundle — Installed with OpenVMS Version 8.4
• SSL bundle (version SSL 1.4 or higher) — Optionally installed with OpenVMS Version 8.4
Network Requirements
GiCAP and iCAP do not use any network ports directly. However, version 9.0 GiCAP uses
WBEM/SSL for the communication protocol, requiring use of the CIM HTTPS port 5989. GiCAP
also uses ping (which uses port 7 for the echo protocol) and host lookup services (getaddrinfo
and getnameinfo) which may use the Domain Name System (DNS), Network Information
Service (NIS), or a local host file to provide the lookup function.
Email Requirements
For some configurations, previous versions of the Instant Capacity software (prior to B.07.x)
required email connectivity to HP in order to send asset reports as encrypted email messages.
Instant Capacity version B.07.x and later no longer require email connectivity or asset reporting,
however, you can choose to configure it because it can be useful for viewing complexwide asset
information at the Utility Pricing Solutions portal (http://www.hp.com/go/icap/portal).
