3) Execute the icod_notify command (see icod_notify
(1M)) to send an asset report to both HP and to the
system contact e-mail address. HP will respond to this
asset report by sending a second e-mail to the system
contact address. This verifies that e-mail
communication with HP has been established. E-mail
communication is required between the iCOD server
and HP because iCOD servers are required to send
asset reports to HP to report iCOD processor usage.
The reply e-mail, which is sent from HP to the contact
e-mail address will contain a confirmation message and
a license to use the iCOD software to activate or
deactivate processors (see Software Licensing).
Increasing Capacity
Once the free iCOD software license has been applied, iCOD processors
can be activated as needs dictate by use of the icod_modify command
(see icod_modify (1M)). An enablement fee must be paid to HP for every
iCOD processor that is permanently activated.
Software Licensing
Before iCOD software can be used to activate and deactivate processors,
a free license to use must be applied via the icod_modify command.
This license is obtained by executing the icod_notify command which
initiates a response from HP to the system contact e-mail address. This
e-mail contains the free license to use required for processor
activation and deactivation, and instructions for how to apply it.
