  • Page 10: Site Preparation

    Site preparation The BL860c i4 does not have cooling or power systems. Cooling and power is provided by the c-Class enclosure. IMPORTANT: To avoid hardware damage, allow the thermal mass of the product to equalize to the temperature and humidity of the installation facility after removing the shipping materials. A minimum of one hour per 10°C (50°F) of temperature difference between the shipping facility and installation facility is required.

    4. If the Monarch Server is an HPVM host server or a Virtual Services Platform (VSP), then the VM guests or vPars can now be migrated back or started if they were stopped. Refer to the HP Integrity VM or vPar Administrator Guides document for information regarding guest and vPar migration. Test each VM guest or vPar to make sure each is functioning properly.

  • Page 76: Operating System Licenses

    Product Number. Operating System Licenses HP-UX requires a License to Use (LTU) for each processor (socket) installed in a server and HP-UX uses tiered licensing levels based on the maximum processor socket count of the server it runs on. The tier level will rise when the upgraded server contains more sockets than the original Monarch Server.

  • Page 77: The Quick Boot Option

    The HP-UX license is delivered physically or electronically by certificate. To contact your Hewlett Packard Enterprise sales representative for more information about software licensing agreements, go to http:// www.hpe.com/contact. The Quick Boot option The ability to scale up a blade server by adding more blade level resources is inherent to the BL8x0c architecture.
