Figure 3-6 Configure Tab3.4.1 Network Configuration

Use this task to view or change the Utility Meter software configuration. If you change the Utility Meter's hostname or IP address, then you need to reconfigure all PPU partitions with the appropriate PPU Agent software command, to point to the new Utility Meter hostname or IP address.

NOTE: Only existing PPU agents need to be reconfigured. PPU WBEM Partitions/Servers do not need to be reconfigured.

IMPORTANT: This task only updates the parameters in the Utility Meter's configuration file

(/etc/opt/meter/meter.xml), and does not update any HP-UX network files directly. All network parameters in the Utility Meter software must be identical to the Utility Meter's HP-UX network settings. For details of configuring the Utility Meter's HP-UX network settings, see Configuring the HP-UX System Parameters.
