Software Removal
After all contractual obligations have been satisfied, the iCOD software
bundle can be uninstalled from the system using the swremove command
(see swremove (1M)).
NOTE: iCOD software cannot be removed from a system until all
processors in the system have been activated.
Hardware-Partitionable Systems (e.g. Superdome)
Hardware-partitionable systems support more than one instance of an
operating system by partitioning the system into separate systems.
When iCOD is running on this type of system, special consideration must
be taken when creating partitions, removing partitions, and moving cells
between partitions.
For more details about these special considerations, please read the
iCOD User's Guide available at /usr/share/doc/icodUserGuide.pdf.
Contractual Status Of iCOD Processors
Information about the number of iCOD processors (inactive processors
for which an enablement fee has not been paid) remaining on a system
can be obtained by executing the icod_notify command, which will
cause HP to respond via e-mail to the system contact e-mail address.
This response will contain, among other things, the number of iCOD
processors remaining on this system.
Virtual Partitions
iCOD processors may be present in systems or partitions where virtual
partition technology is employed. In a virtual partition environment,
processors which are not assigned to any virtual partition are considered
inactive (in addition to other classes of inactive processors). Unassigned
processors can be assigned by either the icod_modify command or the
vparmodify command (see vparmodify (1M)). Assignment via the
vparmodify command does not result in logging of the activation, e-mail
change notification, or transmission of an asset report to HP (although
the daily report will contain this information). HP recommends using the
icod_modify command when activating or deactivating processors in a
virtual partition where iCOD processors are present.
See vparmodify (1M) for more information on virtual partitions.
