Add an XP Device — This task adds an XP device (Command View server) to the Utility Meter for metering.

Add a PPU WBEM Partition/Server — This task adds a PPU WBEM Partition/Server to the Utility Meter for metering.

Modify Device — This task allows you to perform two types of modifications to devices:

Change a non-URS Disk Array to URS — This task changes a non-URS disk array to URS or a URS disk array to non-URS. Only disk arrays that are labeled URS Device are metered by the Utility Meter.

Change PPU WBEM Partition/Server Configuration Parameters — This task changes the configuration parameters (such as login credentials) for a PPU WBEM Partition/Server.

View Device — This task displays information about a PPU WBEM Partition/Server.
