Processor Instant Capacity on Demand (iCOD)
Installing and Configuring iCOD on nPartitions
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 409
Step 2. [An HP service representative must perform this step.]
Validate the server complex as an iCOD server.
Step 3. Configure sendmail so that it can send e-mail to an HP mail server that
is outside of your company’s firewall.
HP iCOD software sends encrypted e-mail from the local nPartition
running iCOD to HP for billing purposes and to request licensing
information. Details on sendmail configuration are in the user’s guide
for iCOD.
You must configure sendmail on all nPartitions that have iCOD software
installed. On nPartitions with multiple boot devices, configure sendmail
for each boot device.
Step 4. Configure the iCOD contact information for each nPartition that has
iCOD software installed, using the icod_modify -c... command.
This specifies the person who will receive iCOD licensing e-mail from HP
and iCOD configuration change notices. For example:
# icod_modify -c "Joe Doe":[e-mail]:555-5555
On nPartitions with multiple boot devices, configure the the iCOD
contact information for each boot device, in case alternate devices (such
as HAA or ALT) are booted.
Step 5. [This step needs to be performed only once for the entire server complex.]
Request a license by issuing the icod_notify command (with no
options) in any nPartition that has iCOD, sendmail, and the contact
information configured.
The icod_notify command sends an iCOD asset report to HP and to the
iCOD contact and root for the nPartition. After HP receives the asset
report a confirmation e-mail, which contains the iCOD license key, is
sent to the iCOD contact.
Apply the license for iCOD by issuing the icod_modify -l...
command. For example:
# icod_modify -l AABBCCDD
where AABBCCDD is the iCOD license key given in the confirmation
e-mail. You only need to apply the iCOD license once for the entire server
complex.
