in:
• HTTPS: If there is a proxy server between the Utility Meter and HP, the proxy server's
hostname.domain name, port, login account, and account password must be provided. TCP port
443 on the customer's firewall must be open between the Utility Meter and gnome.hprsn.com,

usage reports.
• Email: The IP address of the outbound email relay host must be provided. If necessary, provide the
masquerading email domain. Port 25 must be open on any firewall between the Utility Meter and
the SMTP relay host. If the SMTP relay has an access list, ensure the Utility Meter is on this list. For

a CD, network-attached file system, or a flash drive). The Utility Meter parameters are stored in the
/etc/opt/meter/meter.xml file. The Copy the Meter's configuration task allows you to
create a copy of these parameters. To save a copy of the Utility Meter configuration, see Section 3.4.2:
“Copy the Meter's Configuration”.

2.7 URS XP Only – Installing the CV XP AE CLI Software
If any of the metered devices are URS XP devices, then you must install version 6.1 or 6.2 of the HP
StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition Command Line Interface (CLI) software on the Utility
Meter. Consult the HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition Software Installation Guide for
how to obtain and install the XP CLI software.
NOTE: You may need to install more than one version of the HP StorageWorks XP Command View
Advanced Edition CLI software on the Utility Meter. The version of the CLI software on the meter must be
equal to or lower than the version of the Command View software installed on the XP Command View
server(s). If more than one version of the CLI software is installed, execute the below command for each
version.
When installation is complete, execute the following command on the Utility Meter:
# /opt/meter/bin/SetupCLI CLI_path
where CLI_path is the directory path to Command View XP CLI files.
This script completes the setup of the CLI software and sets the proper permissions for the files.
2.7.1 Avoiding CVAE Device Manager Refresh Conflicts
The XP CLI is used to execute a refresh of the CVAE Device Manager database prior to collecting URS XP
usage information. The refresh ensures that up-to-date XP array usage information is obtained. However, the
refresh can fail for the following reasons:
