iCOD Software
Chapter 6 79
One of my HP-UX 11i v1 applications has compatibility issues with the
iCOD software. How do I correct the problem?
The application may have a problem when processors are activated or
deactivated online. Some applications size themselves at startup based
on the number of active processors and they don’t adjust for processor
increases or decreases. You may try offline activation mode for these
types of applications. See “Operating in Offline Activation Mode” on
page 110 for details.
We received an e-mail message indicating the system/partition did not
report system configuration data. What is the problem and how do I
correct it?
Make sure that e-mail is properly configured for the system/partition. On
hardware-partitionable systems, such as Superdome, all partitions must
be configured to send e-mail to HP. See “E-Mail Configuration” on
page 25 for details. Use the icod_notify command to test e-mail
connectivity to HP. This command sends an e-mail message to HP, and if
the message is received by HP, a reply message is sent to the system
contact.
How much history is retained in the iCOD log files?
The iCOD log files retain (approximately) the latest 3000 iCOD events.
An iCOD event occurs, and is written to the log files, when one of the
following happen:
• the iCOD system sends an asset report to HP (scheduled in cron to
occur daily at noon)
• the iCOD system is shut down
• the iCOD system is started
• the iCOD system has a configuration change (that is, a processor is
activated or deactivated)
You can view all events in the iCOD log files by executing the following
command:
/usr/sbin/icod_stat -u
