We received an e-mail message indicating a HP-UX partition did not
report system configuration data. What is the problem and how do I
correct it?
Make sure that the PPU software is installed and the https connection
is properly configured to the utility meter for the partition. All partitions,
including virtual partitions, must have the PPU software installed and
the https connection configured to connect to the utility meter. See
“Troubleshooting the PPU Software” on page 46 for details on ensuring
your PPU system is compliant and functional.
How many usage reports are retained on the PPU system?
The PPU system retains the latest usage report. For a complete history
of your usage reports you can access the PPU web portal. See “PPU Web
Portal” on page 36 for details.
You can view the latest PPU usage report for your system by invoking a
web browser (or text editor) and opening the file:
/var/ppu/PPUReport.xml
When is information sent by the PPU software?
A system report is sent from the PPU software to the utility meter when
the following occurs:
• System startup
• Approximately every 30 minutes, when the system is running
• System shutdown
What is the difference between PPU versions B.05.00 and B.06.x?
The main difference between these two PPU versions (HP product
T2351AA) is that with versions B.06.x, the ppud daemon is started
automatically when specifying the utility meter using the command:
/usr/sbin/ppuconfig -m meter. With PPU version B.05.00, the ppud
daemon needed to be started manually (with the command:
/sbin/init.d/ppu start).
