Roles Requirement

Your organization may designate a person to fill a system-contact role for the successful management of Instant Capacity systems. The system-contact receives the following types of e-mail messages from the Instant Capacity software:

•Processor change notification

•Compliance exception notification

•Temporary capacity expiration notification

•Temporary capacity enforcement notification

•Virtual partition boot time compliance notification

If a system-contact is not specified, processor change notification e-mail messages are not sent from the Instant Capacity partition. However, the root account continues to receive other notification messages.

 

License Requirement

 

The Instant Capacity software maintains a count of unlicensed system

 

components, and will disallow use of components beyond the licensed

 

count. Before you can use additional components, you must purchase a

 

license from HP.

 

Instant Capacity versions B.07.x manage the licensing of components

 

through the use of license codewords. After a license is purchased from

 

HP, a right-to-use (RTU) codeword is available for retrieval from the

 

Utility Pricing Solutions web portal, located at:

 

http://www.hp.com/go/icod/portal

 

 

NOTE

Contact your HP sales representative in order to purchase an Instant

 

Capacity license. After you have purchased the license, HP sends you a

 

letter informing you how to retrieve the RTU codeword.
