2.7 URS XP Only – Installing the XP CVAE CLI Software
If any of the metered devices are URS XP devices, then you must install version 6.0 or 6.1 of the HP
StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition Command Line Interface (CLI) software on the Utility
Meter. Consult the HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition Software Installation Guide for
how to obtain and install the XP CLI software.
When installation is complete, execute the following command on the Utility Meter:
# /opt/meter/bin/SetupCLI
This script completes the setup of the CLI software and sets the proper permissions for the files.
IMPORTANT: The XP CVAE CLI software must be installed in /opt/CLI on the Utility Meter.
2.7.1 Avoiding CVAE Device Manager Refresh Conflicts
The XP CLI is used to do a refresh of the CVAE Device Manager database prior to using the CLI to collect
URS XP usage information. The CLI refresh ensures that up-to-date XP array usage information is obtained.
However, the refresh can fail for the following reasons:
• The XP array is offline.
• Someone is currently accessing the XP array in Modify mode .
• Someone is logged into the XP CVAE Device Manager using the same account that the Utility Meter is
using for the CLI refresh. The Utility Meter uses the account that was specified in the Add Device
dialog box when the XP array was added.
