NOTE: HP recommends the use of an email alias, which is controlled outside of the Utility Meter, as a list of Utility Meter contacts. Use an email alias with a small number of contacts.

Login – Enter the username of the EVA Command View (CV) application on the EVA CV machine. The default username is administrator.

Passwd – Enter the password of the EVA CV application on the EVA CV machine. The default password is password.

6.Click the Add button. An information message appears and the physical disk arrays managed by the EVA device are automatically discovered. If no errors occur, such as duplicate device ID, the EVA device is added and listed in the Status field. If an error occurs, the Status field displays the error message.

NOTE: After you click the Add button, the process of adding and discovering physical disk arrays takes some time. A pop-up window appears between the EVA device's addition and the physical disk array discovery. Follow the instructions in the pop-up window.

7.To add another EVA device, repeat this procedure starting with Step 5; otherwise, click the Done button to close the Add Device dialog box.

IMPORTANT: Prior to adding any EVA devices you can click the Done button to close the window without making any additions. However, after you click the Add button, the entries are accepted. (To remove a previously added EVA device from the Managed Devices Tree use the Remove Device task in the Devices tab of the Utility Meter GUI. For more information about removing devices, see Remove Device.)

After you have added an EVA device into the Utility Meter the newly added EVA device's IP address appears in the Managed Devices Tree. Note that the green circle to the left of the IP address indicates that the EVA device is connected to the Utility Meter.

After adding an EVA device to the Utility Meter, to configure a physical disk array (managed by the device) so that it is metered by the Utility Meter, you must configure the physical disk array by following the instructions in the section, Modify Device.

IMPORTANT: A newly added EVA device that is correctly configured in the Utility Meter has a green circle next to the EVA Command View (CV) server's IP address in the Managed Devices Tree. For an example of a correctly configured device, see Utility Meter GUI Managed Devices Tree. If the EVA CV server's IP address has a red box next to it, the device did not have an associated disk array discovered by HP SIM. To resolve this problem, see Fixing a Disconnected Device (with Red Box).

3.5.1.2 Add an XP Device

IMPORTANT: HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition version 6.0 (or later) is required for all Utility Ready Storage (URS) XP devices. XP Command View AE must be running, configured, and licensed to manage all URS XP devices. Also, the XP CV AE Command Line Interface (CLI) software version 6.0 (or later) must be installed.

This task allows you to add one or more XP devices (Command View server) and XP disk arrays to the Utility Meter. The configured XP devices and XP disk arrays are visible in the Utility Meter GUI's Managed Devices Tree in the Managed Devices (left) pane.

Follow the procedure in this section if the CV server (device) that manages the physical disk array is not configured and it is not visible in the Utility Meter GUI's Managed Devices Tree or if you have recently added new physical disk arrays to a CV server and the CV server is already configured in the Utility Meter, but the disk arrays do not appear in the Utility Meter GUI's Managed Devices Tree.

If a disk array is already configured and visible in the Utility Meter GUI's Managed Devices Tree, but the disk array appears as a Non-URS Device in the Utility Meter GUI's Managed Devices Tree, follow the instructions in Change a non-URS Disk Array to URS.

Follow this procedure to add an XP device into the Utility Meter:
