Installing and Configuring PPU Software

Configuring PPU Software

 

Manually Starting the ppud Daemon

 

The ppud daemon is started automatically when you specify the utility

 

meter using the /usr/sbin/ppuconfig -mmeter command. It is also

 

automatically started at system boot if a utility meter is configured.

 

However, the ppud daemon’s process may have inadvertently been killed

 

on the system/partition. If the ppud daemon is not running on your PPU

 

system/partition, you need to start it manually.

 

 

NOTE

The ppud daemon must be running on each PPU system/partition,

 

including virtual partitions. If the ppud daemon is not running on your

 

system/partition, utilization information is not sent to HP and 100%

 

utilization may be assumed.

 

To verify the ppud daemon is running, execute the following command:

 

 

/usr/bin/ps -e grep ppud

 

You should see the ppud daemon listed as an active process on the

 

system/partition. If it is running, and the utility meter is properly

 

configured, utilization information is sent to HP and your PPU

 

system/partition is correctly configured.

 

If the ppud daemon is not listed as an active process, you can manually

 

start the ppud daemon with the following command:

 

/sbin/init.d/ppu start
