4.6 Verifying the Data Acquisition Server is Running

The Utility Meter's data acquisition server (das_SERVER process) is essential to the Utility Meter and it must be running for proper operation of the Utility Meter. For details of verifying that the data acquisition server is running, see Meter Connection Status.

4.7 Verifying the Utility Meter Data Transport Method

There are three methods to transfer usage data from the Utility Meter to HP:

HTTPS

email

CD

For more details of these data transport methods, see Data Transport Methods.

To verify the data transport method, execute the following command on the Utility Meter:

# /usr/bin/grep “/transportor_protocol” /etc/opt/meter/meter.xml

The following transportor_protocol numbers indicate the data transport method currently configured in the Utility Meter:

0 – HTTPS

1 – email

2 – CD

For example, the following output from the above command indicates that the data transport method is email:

<transportor_protocol>1</transportor_protocol>

4.8 Verifying a PPU Partition

This section provides information to:

Verify that a PPU WBEM Partition/Server is configured and connected to the Utility Meter.

Verify that PPU Agent is configured to the Utility Meter.

Test the connection from PPU Agent to the Utility Meter.

4.8.1Verify PPU WBEM Partition/Server Configuration

To verify that the PPU WBEM Partition/Server is configured and connected to the Utility Meter conduct a Device Connection test. See Device Connection for details about conducting a device connection test.

4.8.2 Verify PPU Agent Configuration

To verify that the PPU Agent software (on PPU partitions) is configured to the Utility Meter, execute the following command on each PPU partition in the complex:

NOTE: The PPU Agent software command varies depending on which operating system is installed on the PPU partition. Open a terminal window on the PPU partition and execute the following (appropriate) command:

For HP-UX partitions:

# /usr/sbin/ppuconfig

For OpenVMS partitions: $ ppu config

For Windows Server 2003:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett Packard\ppu\ppuconfig

For example, the output of the HP-UX PPU Agent software for version 8.x should look similar to this:
