HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for Versions 8.x

upgraded, the Instant Capacity software may determine the system to be in an exception
state.
7. Execute the following command:/usr/sbin/icod_statInspect the icod_stat command
output for the line that indicates the Exception status (near the top of the output). If it
displays “No exception”, your system is in compliance. Inspect the remainder of the output
to see the distribution of your active and inactive cores in the system and modify it using
/usr/sbin/icod_modify if you want to make changes.
8. If the Exception status in Step 7 indicates that there are more cores, cells, or memory
active than expected, you need to deactivate the appropriate number of each component in
order to bring the system into compliance with the Instant Capacity contract.
9. From the output in Step 7, verify that the correct system-contact information is specified.
If necessary, update the contact information by executing:
/usr/sbin/icod_modify -c contact_e-mail_address
10. Ensure you have installed all of the required HP-UX patches on each partition. See “Required
Patches for HP-UX 11i v1” (page 30) or “Required Patches for HP-UX 11i v2” (page 31) for
details. If necessary, obtain missing patches from the web site:
http://us-support2.external.hp.com. Detailed instructions on installing each patch are available
on this web site.
11. If e-mail connectivity is required (when upgrading to B.06.x), or if asset reporting is being used with
B.07.x or later versions: Execute the following command:
/usr/sbin/icod_notify reply_address
This command verifies that your sendmail configuration is capable of sending e-mail
messages to the hp.com domain. The icod_notify command needs to be executed with
an e-mail address as an argument. The e-mail address is the address HP uses when
responding to the e-mail sent from the Instant Capacity system and is the e-mail address to
which the HP acknowledgement message is sent.
Using any e-mail reader, verify receipt of the acknowledgement e-mail from HP. The message
should be received within one hour.
