Understanding iCOD Requirements
License Requirement
Chapter 2 37
License Requirement
iCOD systems require the iCOD software (versions B.04.x and B.05.x) to
be licensed. The required license is free and ensures communication
between your iCOD system and HP.
New for versions B.05.x is that once any vPar or hard partition is valid
and licensed on an iCOD system, the following are automatically valid
and licensed:
• other vPars — within the same complex
• other hard partitions — within the same complex
IMPORTANT A license must be applied before activation or deactivation of processors
can be performed with the icod_modify command. An unlicensed iCOD
system is incapable of activating or deactivating processors. iCOD
systems must have the license applied at the customer’s site. HP does
not apply the license prior to shipping iCOD systems to customers.
The method to apply the license is:
Step 1. Configure your iCOD system to send internet e-mail (configuration for
receiving e-mail is not required)
Step 2. Set the system contact information by entering the following command:
/usr/sbin/icod_modify -c name:e-mail:phone
Example 2-3 Setting system contact information for Mary Jones:
/usr/sbin/icod_modify -c “Mary Jones:[e-mail]:[phone]”
Step 3. Request a license-key from HP, via e-mail, by entering the following
command (This command sends an asset report, via e-mail, to: HP, the
system contact, and root):
/usr/sbin/icod_notify
