Configuring PPU Software

 

 

After you have successfully installed the PPU B.06.x software, using the

 

 

swinstall command, you need to configure the PPU https client

 

 

connection to the utility meter. The utility meter must be configured on

 

 

every partition, including virtual partitions.

 

 

 

NOTE

 

The following configuration procedure assumes your utility meter has

 

 

been installed on the PPU system’s network by your HP service

 

 

representative. If the utility meter is not installed, contact your HP

 

 

service representative.

 

 

There can be up to four steps to configure your PPU system, depending

 

 

 

 

on whether or not your network uses a proxy server, and if you desire to

 

 

specify a name other than your system’s hostname as the system

 

 

identifier.

 

 

At a minimum, the name of the utility meter must be set. The four steps

 

 

to configure the PPU software are:

Step

1.

Configure the hostname of the utility meter (required)

Step

2.

Configure the hostname of the proxy server (if necessary)

Step

3.

Configure the proxy server’s username and password (if required by the

 

 

proxy server)

Step

4.

Configure the system identifier (if desired)

Configuring the Utility Meter (required)

To set the hostname of the utility meter, execute the following command:

/usr/sbin/ppuconfig -m meter

Where meter is the fully qualified hostname or IP address of the utility meter.
