Updating/Installing iCOD Software

Factory Integrated Systems

You do not need to install the iCOD software if your processors and software were ordered with your HP enterprise server. The iCOD software was already installed by HP prior to delivery. You can use the following command to verify that the iCOD software is installed and configured:/usr/sbin/icod_stat




	IMPORTANT: OpenView measure products (such as MeasureWare and GlancePlus) must be updated to version C.02.60 or later before installing or updating the iCOD software. For details see “Measurement Software on iCOD Systems”.

If you currently have an iCOD software version installed that is prior to version B.04.x (for example: B.01.00, B.02.x, or B.03.x) you need to update your system to iCOD version B.05.01. It is recommended to update to iCOD version B.05.01 if you currently have version B.04.x installed. You can contact your HP service representative to update and reconfigure your system to version B.05.01. However, below are instructions for installing version B.05.01 (for HP-UX 11.0 and 11i v1) from the Support Plus CD-ROM and Software Depot (software.hp.com). These instructions can be used to upgrade an existing iCOD system to version B.05.01, or to install version B.05.01 on a newly configured iCOD system.

For All Installations

After you have successfully installed the iCOD B.05.x software using the swinstall command, perform the following procedure to complete your iCOD installation:

Log in as root
Note, this step is required only on new installations and upgrades from iCOD version 1.0 software. Set the system contact information by entering the following command:
/usr/sbin/icod_modify -c name:e-mail:phone
If you need details on setting system contact information, see “Setting Your System Contact Information”.
Ensure that outgoing mail can be sent to HP mail servers from your iCOD system, even if the system is behind a firewall. If you need details on configuring e-mail, see “E-Mail Configuration”.
Acquire and apply a license to your iCOD system. See “License Requirement” for details of this procedure.
If this is an update from an earlier version of iCOD, do the following:
1. Verify that the number of active processors is correct for this iCOD system by executing the following command:
  /usr/sbin/icod_stat
2. If the number of active processors is not correct, use the following command to set the correct number of active processors (refer to the manpage icod_modify(1M) for details of the icod_modify command):
  /usr/sbin/icod_modify -s number-of-active-processors \ [desc]:user-name:mgr-name:mgr-e-mail:mgr-phone
Note, this step is necessary only for add-on systems and it must be performed by a HP service representative (SR). An add-on system is a non-iCOD system that has been converted to an iCOD system. If your system is an add-on, then have your HP SR do the following:
1. Set the number of active processors equal to the number of existing processors in the system by executing the following command:
```
/usr/sbin/icod_modify -s number-of-active-processors \
[desc]:user-name:mgr-name:mgr-e-mail:mgr-phone
```
2. Shut down the iCOD system.
3. Physically install the new processors.
4. If you want to configure iCOD for online activation of processors, simply reboot the system. If you want to configure iCOD for offline activation, reboot the system and deconfigure the appropriate number of iCOD processors from BCH.
Verify the correct number of requested active processors, and the number of activated and deactivated processors, by executing the following command:
/usr/sbin/icod_stat
Test the transmission of your asset report, via e-mail to HP, by entering the following command: /usr/sbin/icod_notify
An e-mail reply is sent to the system contact after performing the icod_notify command in Step 8. Use an e-mail client to verify the return e-mail from HP to the system contact e-mail address.
