8.15 HP Utility Meter User's Guide (January 2010)

To copy the Utility Meter's configuration:
1. Start the Utility Meter GUI. For details, see Section 3.1: “Starting the Utility Meter GUI”.
2. In the Utility Meter GUI, click the Configure tab, and then click the Copy the Meter's
configuration task button (right pane). This operation may take some time to complete.
When the copy has successfully completed, this task displays a pop-up message with the name of the
copied file. The Copy the Meter's configuration task copies the
/etc/opt/meter/meter.xml configuration file to the /tmp directory of the Utility Meter.

/tmp directory to a safe file (for example, CD, network-attached file system, or a flash drive).
4. Click the OK button to close the message window.
If a copy failure occurs, a pop-up message advises you of the status.
