Installation and Use with the OpenVMS Operating System 2-1
Chapter 2
Installation and Use with the
OpenVMS Operating System
1.0 Introduction
iCAP systems contain two types of CPUs, those that are purchased initially
with the system, and those that can be made available as processing
requirements grow. This document provides information about installing iCAP,
bringing additional iCAP CPUs on line, designating CPUs as spares, loaning
iCAP CPUs to the system, and purchasing iCAP CPUs for full use. You must
have CMKRNL and SYSPRV privileges to perform the tasks described in this
document.
Please note the following restrictions:
• iCAP is supported on OpenVMS Alpha systems; it is not supported on
OpenVMS VAX systems.
• iCAP Version 1.6 runs on OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2-1H1 and higher
• iCAP software and the associated SMP licenses must be installed on all
systems that have iCAP CPUs.
• OpenVMS Galaxy is not supported in this release of iCAP.
When you install the iCAP software, all the CPUs on the system are in the
active state. This includes the CPUs that are purchased initially with the
system, as well as the additional CPUs that are reserved for future demand.
Use the iCAP software to configure the system by designating the iCAP CPUs
and setting them to the inactive state.
1.1 Configuration
You must include as active CPUs the primary CPU, and either the CPUs
responsible for managing hardware interrupts, or the CPUs being used by one
or more applications, or both when configuring iCAP.
