HP Pay per use (PPU) manual Installing the Utility Meter Software

IMPORTANT: The Utility Meter must be rebooted after the install of HP SIM 5.1. The reboot can take many minutes due to configuring the HP SIM filesets.

You need to only perform the basic HP SIM installation that is discussed in the following HP Systems Insight Manager 5.1 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UXchapters:

•Chapter 2 “Installation overview and requirements”

•Chapter 3 “Installing HP SIM on the CMS for the first time”

NOTE: Configuration of the HP SIM software is not required. The HP SIM software is automatically configured and started during the Utility Meter software installation.

The HP SIM 5.1 software installation can take up to an hour to complete. A reboot of the Utility Meter system occurs automatically if this is an initial installation of the HP SIM software.

2.6 Installing the Utility Meter Software

NOTE: You should check the HP Software Depot Web site for the latest information about patches: http:/ /www.software.hp.com.

For patch management information, refer to the Patch Management User Guide for HP-UX 11.x Systems, available at http://www.docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv2.html#Patch Management

For software installation information using SD-UX, see Managing HP-UX Software With SD-UX: HP 9000 Computers, part number B2355-90154, also available on the HP Technical documentation Web site at http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90154/index.html.

Installing, or reinstalling, the Utility Meter 8.13 software may overwrite configuration files that have been changed since the previous Utility Meter software installation.

IMPORTANT: If you are running the swinstall GUI, select all subpackages that are included in the T2805AA or T5462A bundle. Alternatively, if you are running swinstall on the command line, use /* when installing T2805AA or T5462A. During the swinstall installation phase, most T2805AA or T5462A subpackages are not installed because they already were installed during the previous HP SIM 5.1 installation.

The Utility Meter software swinstall takes between 20 minutes and one hour to complete. If you are installing using the swinstall GUI you will see the installation temporarily hang at 100% Complete, specifying it is in the “Configure” phase. Do not interrupt the processing in the swinstall GUI or on the command line—wait until it finishes.
