HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for Version 9.x

4.2 Setting System Contact Information
HP recommends that you specify a system contact’s email address on each partition in your
system. On OpenVMS systems, the email address may be a logical pointing to a distribution list.
If specified, the system contact receives the following types of Instant Capacity email:
• Configuration change notification when cores are activated or deactivated
• Compliance exception notification
• Temporary capacity expiration notification
• Instant Capacity enforcement notification
• Virtual partition boot time compliance notification
• If participating in a GiCAP group and a hardware incompatibility is detected (see “Upgrades
and Global Instant Capacity” (page 119))
NOTE: Instant Capacity email messages are sent to the system contact email address, if specified,
and the root account on the partition. Most notifications are also written to the system log.
To specify the Instant Capacity system contact’s email address, use the icapmodify -c
command. Note that you must specify a valid Internet email address. For example:
> /usr/sbin/icapmodify -c [e-mail]
The contact email address has been set to [e-mail].
NOTE: The email address specified for the system contact can be an email alias if you want
multiple recipients to receive Instant Capacity email messages.
