reports. The icod_stat command displays the current configuration for
asset reporting. You turn asset reporting on or off with the icod_notify
-a command. For details about how to configure e-mail connectivity, see
“Configuring E-Mail on Instant Capacity Systems” on page 143.
Roles Requirement
Your organization may designate a person to fill a system-contact role for
the successful management of Instant Capacity systems. The
system-contact receives the following types of e-mail messages from the
Instant Capacity software:
• Processor change notification
• Compliance exception notification
• Temporary capacity expiration notification
• Temporary capacity enforcement notification
• Virtual partition boot time compliance notification
If a system-contact is not specified, processor change notification e-mail
messages are not sent from the Instant Capacity partition. However, the
root account continues to receive other notification messages.
License Requirement
The Instant Capacity software maintains a count of unlicensed system
components, and will disallow use of components beyond the licensed
count. Before you can use additional components, you must purchase a
license from HP.
Instant Capacity versions B.07.x manage the licensing of components
through the use of license codewords. After a license is purchased from
HP, a right-to-use (RTU) codeword is available for retrieval from the
Utility Pricing Solutions web portal, located at:

NOTE Contact your HP sales representative in order to purchase an Instant
Capacity license. After you have purchased the license, HP sends you a
letter informing you how to retrieve the RTU codeword.
