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

Setting System-Contact Information
It is recommended that you specify a system-contact’s e-mail address on each partition in your
system. On OpenVMS systems, the e-mail address may be a logical pointing to a distribution
list.
If specified, the system-contact receives the following types of Instant Capacity e-mail:
• 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 115))
NOTE: Instant Capacity e-mail messages are sent to the system-contact e-mail 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 e-mail address, use the icapmodify command
with the -c option. Note that you must specify a valid internet e-mail address.
Here is an example of icapmodify -c:
> /usr/sbin/icapmodify -c [e-mail]
The contact e-mail address has been set to [e-mail].
NOTE: The e-mail address specified for the system-contact can be an e-mail alias if you desire
multiple recipients to receive Instant Capacity e-mail messages.
