•Array Contact E-mail– Enter the email address of the person who can be contacted by HP for any Utility Meter related issues. Only the meter email is currently being used. Other email addresses loaded into the meter tied to devices or partitions being monitored by the meter, are NOT currently being used and can be ignored. After you have completed entering the email contact, make sure you press the Enter key before you click the Add button.

NOTE: HP recommends the use of an email alias, which is controlled outside of the Utility Meter, as a list of Utility Meter contacts. Use an email alias with a small number of contacts.

•Login – Enter the username of the XP Command View (CV) AE application on the XP CV AE machine. The default username is system.

•Passwd – Enter the password of the XP CV AE application on the XP CV AE machine. The default password is manager.

6.Click the Add button. An information message appears. If no errors occur, such as duplicate device ID, the XP device is added and listed in the Status field. If an error occurs, the Status field displays the error message.

7.To add another XP device, repeat this procedure starting with Step 5; otherwise, click the Done button to close the Add Device dialog box.

IMPORTANT: Prior to adding any XP devices, you can click the Done button to close the window without making any additions. However, after you click the Add button, the entries are accepted. (To remove a previously added XP device from the Managed Devices Tree, use the Remove Device task in the Devices tab of the Utility Meter GUI. For more information about removing devices, see Remove Device.)

After you have added an XP device into the Utility Meter the newly added XP device's IP address appears in the Managed Devices Tree. Note that the green circle to the left of the IP address indicates that the XP device is connected to the Utility Meter.

IMPORTANT: A newly added XP device that is correctly configured in the Utility Meter has a green circle next to the XP Command View (CV) server's IP address in the Managed Devices Tree. For an example of a correctly configured device, see Utility Meter GUI Managed Devices Tree. If the XP CV server's IP address has a red box next to it, the device did not have an associated disk array correctly configured into the Utility Meter. To resolve this problem, see Fixing a Disconnected Device (with Red Box).

3.5.1.3 Add a PPU WBEM Partition/Server

This task allows you to add one or more PPU WBEM Partitions/Servers to the Utility Meter. The configured PPU WBEM Partitions/Servers are visible in the Utility Meter GUI's Managed Devices Tree in the Managed Devices (left) pane.

IMPORTANT: If you are going to require a server certificate for the PPU WBEM Partition/Server, you need to update the servers.pem file before you add the PPU WBEM Partition/Server.

When a PPU WBEM Partition/Server is added to the Utility Meter you have the option of requiring a server certificate when the partition/server is accessed. The certificate is different for each server that you want to connect to. For each metered server, you need to copy the certificate file from the remote server to the server the meter is running on and then add it into /var/opt/meter/servers.pem, which is used to store the certificates for every PPU WBEM Partition/Server for which you want to require a certificate. To copy the certificate from the metered server and add it to servers.pem, use the following procedure:
