iCOD Requirements
Software Requirements |
|
|
iCOD systems are required to run the iCOD software which e-mails asset report information to an audit system located at HP. Your system must continue to send asset reports, via e-mail to HP, until all program requirements are fulfilled. Refer to “When iCOD Program Requirements End” for details.

 | IMPORTANT: For hardware-partitionable systems (for example, Superdome): The Utility subsystem firmware must be 6.40 or greater. iCOD is not supported on versions prior to 6.40. The Utility firmware revision is displayed in two places by the Management Processor (MP). To determine your version, check the main menu when you first log into the MP, or type CM at the main menu to display the command menu, then HE for help. |

Your iCOD system is shipped with the correct version of HP-UX and the iCOD software bundle. In the event your system’s operating system is re-installed or installed with Ignite-UX, ensure that the correct version of HP-UX is used.
The following patches (or superseded patches) are required for HP-UX 11i v1:
PHKL_23154: S700_800 11.11 dflush() patch
PHKL_25218: S700_800 11.11 PDC Call retry, PDC_SCSI_PARMS, iCOD hang fix

The iCOD software utilizes the cron job scheduler to send an asset report, via e-mail, to HP on a daily basis. For details of the asset report, see “iCOD System Configuration Information Reported to HP”. Upon installation of the iCOD software, the following cron entry is made in the system’s root crontab file:
|
|
|
This entry runs the iCOD icod_notify -c command at 12:00 noon daily. To verify the cron entry,
log in as root and enter the following command:
/usr/bin/crontab -l
| |
| |
| |
| IMPORTANT: As a part of the On Demand Solutions program requirements, HP must receive the iCOD system’s asset report daily, via e-mail. Therefore, the cron daemon should always be executing. For further information on cron, see the cron(1M) manpage. |
