Installing Instant Capacity Software

Factory Integrated Systems

You do not need to install the Instant Capacity software if your processors and software were ordered with your HP enterprise server. The Instant Capacity software was already installed by HP prior to delivery. You can use the following command to verify that the software is installed and configured:

/usr/sbin/swverify B9073BA

You should see Verification succeeded. in the output of the swverify command.




	IMPORTANT: The Instant Capacity software is automatically installed when the HP-UX 11i v2 or 11i v1 Operating Environment (OE) is installed. If any partition in the system has version B.07.x software installed, then all partitions in the system with Instant Capacity software must be running version B.07.x software. That is, there cannot be a mix of different versions of the Instant Capacity software in the same system. See “Upgrading to Instant Capacity versions B.06.x or B.07.x Software” for details of upgrading the software from a version previous to B.07.x.

For HP-UX you should not need to install the Instant Capacity software; however, if you do, it is available from the following media/locations:
