1.5.1 Utility Meter Software Dependencies

The Utility Meter software is dependent on the following independent HP software:

•HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) version 5.1 (For details, see Installing the HP Systems Insight Manager Software.)

•For Utility Ready Storage XP installations: HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition Command Line Interface (CLI) version 6.0 or later (For details, see URS XP Only – Installing the XP CV AE CLI Software.)

That is, if you have Utility Ready Storage XP devices that need to be metered, then you must also install the HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition Command Line Interface (CLI) version 6.0 (or later) software on the Utility Meter.

1.5.2Utility Meter Software Back Up

The Utility Meter does not need to be backed up on an ongoing basis because all relevant information is sent daily to HP. However, HP recommends that an Ignite-image backup is created in case there is a need to restore the Utility Meter on the same type of hardware.

1.5.3 Utility Meter Directory Structure

CAUTION: Do not write, delete, or modify any files in the following directories, including their subdirectories:

•/var/opt/meter

•/opt/meter

•/etc/opt/meter
