Preserving current iCOD information

If you reinstall HP-UX on an iCOD system (for example, installing HP-UX by either cold-installing or installing from a “golden image”), all information in the iCOD configuration file disappears unless you do the following:

  1. Before the reinstall, manually save your iCOD data and processor allocation history by backing up the following files:

    1. /etc/.iCOD_data

    2. /var/adm/.iCOD_log

    3. /var/adm/.iCOD_log.back

    These files will be restored in Step 3 below.

  2. Reinstall the iCOD B.05.x software bundle B9073AA from the Support Plus media or the HP Software Depot (software.hp.com).

  3. Restore your iCOD data and processor allocation history files:

    1. /etc/.iCOD_data

    2. /var/adm/.iCOD_log

    3. /var/adm/.iCOD_log.back

If this is not done, you will lose all of the iCOD change history and contact information.

Installing “Golden Images” on a non-iCOD System

If you attempt to install a golden image of an iCOD B.05.x system onto another (non-iCOD) HP enterprise server, the result on the target system is an invalid installation. That is, the iCOD B.05.x software will be in a non-operational state. You can successfully remove the iCOD software when the system is in this state by entering the following command:
/usr/sbin/swremove B9073AA
