These tests show that the hostname gets filtered out for account umeter. If any of the masquerading tests
do not work, check the sendmail configuration file and ensure the email masquerading is implemented
(through the DM macro):
IMPORTANT: The domainname must be resolvable in DNS for HP to accept email from the Utility Meter.
2.12 Configuring PPU Partitions and URS Devices
Depending on whether the Utility Meter will be metering Pay per use (PPU) server partitions or Utility Ready
Storage (URS) devices (or both), see the following for configuration information:
• For Pay per use (PPU) WBEM Partitions/Servers that need to be metered by the Utility Meter, configure
the PPU partitions by adding them as a PPU WBEM Partition/Server. For more information about this
type of configuration, see Add a PPU WBEM Partition/Server.
PPU Agent server partitions can be configured using the appropriate PPU Agent software command on
each PPU partition. For more information about configuration via PPU Agent software, see the specific
PPU User's Guide , which can be located in Related Documentation.
• For URS devices that need to be metered by the Utility Meter, configure the devices in the Utility Meter
GUI. For more information about this type of configuration, see Utility Meter Devices Tasks.
2.13 Verifying the Utility Meter Operation
You must verify the operation of the Utility Meter for any of the following changes:
• The HP-UX system parameters were modified
• The Utility Meter software was installed or reinstalled
• The Utility Meter parameters were modified
For details of verifying the operation of the Utility meter, see Chapter 4: “Verifying Utility Meter Operation”.
IMPORTANT: You should perform all procedures in the Utility Meter verification chapter.
2.14 Completing the Utility Meter Installation and Configuration
Make sure to close the Utility Meter GUI and log out from the Utility Meter system to complete the Utility
Meter installation and configuration.
2.15 Upgrading the Utility Meter Software to Version 8.14.01
If you want to upgrade the Utility Meter software to version 8.14.01, you must install the 8.14.01 software
and then configure all required Utility Meter parameters through the Utility Meter GUI. The Utility Meter
parameters are entered from values provided in Appendix A “Site Preparation Form for Pay Per Use” or
Appendix B “Site Preparation Form for Utility Ready Storage”.
To upgrade from any 8.x version of the Utility Meter software to version 8.14.01, follow this procedure:
1. Copy the /etc/opt/meter/meter.xml file to a safe location. The meter.xml file contains the
current Utility Meter configuration information, and its contents can be useful during its recreation in the
8.14.01 environment. Do not reuse this file from a previous Utility Meter version in 8.14.01—its layout
is different for every version of the Utility Meter software.
2. If the Utility Meter is configured to use email as the data transport method, copy the entire /etc/mail
directory to a safe location. Note that if the standard sendmail configuration was not used, another
directory may need to be copied. Contact the customer's mail administrator for more information.
3. Open the Utility Meter GUI and remove servers, disk arrays and SAN switches.
4. Stop the Utility Meter application by executing the following command:
# /opt/meter/bin/monitor stop
5. Uninstall the installed version of the Utility Meter using one of the two commands below:
# /usr/sbin/swremove T2805AA
