Setting System-Contact Information

It is recommended that you specify a system-contact’s e-mail address on each partition in your system. On OpenVMS systems, the e-mail address may be a logical pointing to a distribution list.

If specified, the system-contact receives the following types of Instant Capacity e-mail:

Configuration change notification when cores are activated or deactivated
Compliance exception notification
Temporary capacity expiration notification
Instant Capacity enforcement notification
Virtual partition boot time compliance notification
If participating in a GiCAP group and a hardware incompatibility is detected (see “Upgrades and Global Instant Capacity”)




	NOTE: Instant Capacity e-mail messages are sent to the system-contact e-mail address, if specified, and the `root` account on the partition. Most notifications are also written to the system log.

To specify the Instant Capacity system-contact’s e-mail address, use the icapmodify command with the -c option. Note that you must specify a valid internet e-mail address.

Here is an example of icapmodify -c:

> /usr/sbin/icapmodify -c mjones@corp.com
The contact e-mail address has been set to mjones@corp.com.




	NOTE: The e-mail address specified for the system-contact can be an e-mail alias if you desire multiple recipients to receive Instant Capacity e-mail messages.
