1.5 Software

Version 8.13 of the HP Utility Meter software is available as the following HP products:

For Pay per use (PPU) installations: T2805AA

For Utility Ready Storage (URS) installations: T5462A

That is, PPU customers order T2805AA and URS customers order T5462A.

The Utility Meter software is compatible with HP-UX 11i v2, and HP-UX 11i v3. The HP-UX Base Operating Environment (BOE) or HP-UX Foundation Operating Environment (FOE) is adequate to run the Utility Meter software application. The Utility Meter 8.13 software is supported on the following operating systems:

HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23) – May 2005 or later

HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31)

The Utility Meter software is available from the following:

The HP Software Depot Web site: http://software.hp.com (search for either “T2805AA” or “T5462A”)

The HP-UX Application Software media (CD or DVD) that is sent to a customer when ordering either HP Utility Meter software products.

The Utility Meter software is a selectable product in swinstall. (See the manpage swinstall(1M) for details of the swinstall command.)

The Utility Meter software is different from the required PPU Agent software or the WBEM provider software that is installed on the partitions of a PPU server. The Utility Meter software, version 8.13, is compatible with the PPU Agent software versions 7.0, or later. The PPU Agent software and the WBEM provider software both use port 5989 for communication with the Utility Meter.

IMPORTANT: Although technically possible, HP does not recommend installing the Utility Meter software on a server's partition that is under a PPU contract.

The Utility Meter software, version 8.13, is compatible with the WBEM provider software versions listed below:

HP-UX has the following dependencies:

WBEMSvcs A.02.05.08 or later

Utilization Provider A.01.06
