PPU Software Requirements

PPU systems are required to run the PPU software on every partition which reports information to the utility meter (located on your network). If your PPU system does not send usage reports, via the https client, your system’s processors may be assumed to be 100% utilized.

Your PPU system is shipped with the correct version of HP-UX and the PPU software bundle. In the event your system’s operating system is re-installed with Ignite-UX, ensure that the correct version of HP-UX is used and the PPU software is installed. See “Getting Started” on page 24 for details.

This document lists the patches required to install and run PPU versions B.06.x known at the time of publication. To find the most current patches, see “How To Find The Latest Patches” on page 26 for detailed instructions.
