Preserving current Instant Capacity information |
 |
If you reinstall HP-UX on a partition with Instant
Capacity (for example, installing HP-UX by either cold-installing
or installing from a “golden image”), all information
in the Instant Capacity configuration file disappears unless you do
the following:
|
| |
|
 | WARNING! If the system is a member of a Global Instant Capacity group,
it should be removed from the group before reinstalling HP-UX, and
added back into the group after the reinstallation. “Group Member Reinstallation” describes a
workaround if HP-UX is reinstalled while a system is a member of a
GiCAP group. If the system is a Global Instant Capacity Group Manager,
additional steps described in Chapter 7 are necessary to configure the Group Manager
after a reinstallation of HP-UX. |

Before the reinstall,
manually save your Instant Capacity data and processor allocation
history by backing up the following files:
HP-UX: /etc/.iCOD_data
OpenVMS: SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$ICAP.DAT
HP-UX: /var/adm/icap.log
OpenVMS: SYS$MANAGER:ICAP.LOG
HP-UX: /var/adm/icap.log.old
Install the appropriate
HP-UX or OpenVMS Operating Environment (OE) from its media onto the
partition. The Instant Capacity software bundle B9073BA is installed automatically when the HP-UX OE is installed, and the
Instant Capacity software bundle BA484AA is installed
automatically on OpenVMS systems.
Restore your Instant Capacity
data and processor allocation history files:
HP-UX: /etc/.iCOD_data
OpenVMS: SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$ICAP.DAT
HP-UX: /var/adm/icap.log
OpenVMS: SYS$MANAGER:ICAP.LOG
HP-UX: /var/adm/icap.log.old
If the above procedure is not done, all of the
Instant Capacity change history and system-contact information is
lost.
