7. Execute the following command:
/usr/sbin/icod_stat
Inspect 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, if you want to make changes, modify it using the
/usr/sbin/icod_modify command.
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_email_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 29) or “Required Patches for HP-UX 11i v2” (page 29) 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 email 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 email
messages to the hp.com domain. The icod_notify command needs to be executed with
an email address as an argument. The email address is the address HP uses when responding
to the email sent from the Instant Capacity system and is the email address to which the HP
acknowledgement message is sent.
Using any email reader, verify receipt of the acknowledgement email from HP, which
typically is sent within 1 hour.
