After you have successfully installed the PPU 8.x software, you need to configure the PPU software connection to the utility meter. The utility meter must be configured on every partition in the complex (including virtual partitions on HP-UX systems).
You may need to perform up to three steps to configure a partition. At a minimum, you must set the name of the utility meter. If you want to specify a name other than your partition’s hostname as the system identifier, you must perform additional steps. If you want to set a cap, or maximum, for the number of active cores (HP-UX and OpenVMS systems only), you must also perform additional steps. To summarize, in order to configure the PPU software you must do the following:
To configure the utility meter, execute the following command on each partition: /usr/sbin/ppuconfig -m meter Where meter is the fully-qualified hostname or IP address of the utility meter. This command/option performs a communication test to the utility meter and starts the ppud daemon. To configure the utility meter, open a command window on each Windows partition on the server and execute the following command: C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\ppu> Where meter is the fully-qualified hostname or IP address of the utility meter. This command/option performs a communication test to the utility meter and starts the PPU Service. The command assumes that PPU was installed in the default location.
To configure the utility meter, execute the following DCL command on each partition: $ ppu config/meter_address=meter Where meter is the fully-qualified hostname or IP address of
the utility meter. After the utility meter is defined, you must
start the PPU_SERVER process. Use the DCL command below to start the server: The system identifier of a partition enables you to track your PPU system. The default system-identifier is the hostname of your partition. If you want to protect the identity of the hostname for your partition, you can change the system identifier to any value you choose. Examples of a system identifier are: an asset number, an HP support tag, or a description of a physical location. To set the system identifier of the partition, execute the following command: /usr/sbin/ppuconfig -s system_id Where system_id is an identifier for your partition.

To set the system identifier of the partition, execute the following DCL command: $ ppu config/system_id=system_id Where system_id is an identifier for your partition.
You can specify the number of active cores on each partition in your PPU system. To cap the number of active cores for a given partition, execute the following command: HP-UX: /usr/sbin/ppuconfig -rc number OpenVMS: $ PPU CONFIG/CAP=number[/RECONCILE] Where number is the maximum number of active cores you want in the partition. The -r option on the HP-UX command and the /RECONCILE qualifier on the OpenVMS command causes the cap to take effect immediately (limiting the number of active cores without waiting for a reboot).
See “ppuconfig (1M) Manpage” for details on specifying a cap limiting the number of active cores. You can use the ppuconfig command (with no options) to view the settings for the utility meter and system identifier, and if a cap limiting the number of active cores is set. Example 3-1 Viewing system settings using the ppuconfig command Use the following commands to verify general system settings: HP-UX: OpenVMS: Windows Server 2003: You should see output similar to: Utility Meter IP/Hostname: meter1.corp.com See the “ppuconfig” descriptions in the appropriate system-specific Appendix (B or C) for details of the ppuconfig command. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
