Figure 3-27 Diagnose PPU WBEM Partition/Server Results Window
IMPORTANT: If the window's Status field does not have the value ON, then the partition/server is
not connected to the Utility Meter. Ensure that the partition/server is properly configured in the Utility
Meter. For troubleshooting details, see Section 5.3.2: “Troubleshooting a WBEM Device”.
7. The Send test report button in the Diagnose Device window performs the same test as the
Diag button and also tests the connection from the Utility Meter to HP. This test will store a test usage
report in the /var/opt/meter/sent directory after it has been sent to HP (when the report is waiting
to be sent it is stored in /var/opt/meter/out).
If the Utility Meter was able to send the test report to HP, then the Status field contains the message
Sending completed.
NOTE: Users can log into the UPS Web Portal to check that this test report was received (see
Section 4.7.4: “Test Connection from PPU Partition to UPS Web Portal”).
