# /usr/sbin/icapstatus

4. HP recommends that you specify a system contact’s email address on each partition in
your system. Set the system contact information by entering the following command:
# /usr/sbin/icapmodify -c <contact_email_address>

mail servers from your system, even if the system is behind a firewall.
Test the transmission of your asset report, via email to HP, by entering the following
command:
