NOTE: The CV XP AE CLI is not required for URS installations that have only EVA devices configured in
the Utility Meter.
Perform the following procedure on the Utility Meter to verify that version 6.1 and/or 6.2 of the CLI software
is installed on the Utility Meter for URS XP installations. On the Utility Meter:
1. Log in as root.
2. Execute the following commands:
# /opt/CLI/hdvmcli.sh > /tmp/cli.out 2>&1
# /usr/bin/grep -i version /tmp/cli.out
You should output that is similar to the following displayed:
Device Manager CLI version "6.1.0-00"
If you do not see version 6.1 or 6.2 of the CV XP AE CLI displayed, install the correct CLI software by
following the instructions in Section 2.7: “URS XP Only – Installing the CV XP AE CLI Software”.
If you see the correct version of the CLI displayed, then you have successfully verified that the correct version
of the CLI is installed and no further action is necessary. However, you can clean up the Utility Meter /tmp
directory with the following command:
# /usr/bin/rm /tmp/cli.out
4.8.5 EVA Only – Verifying the Correct Version of CV EVA SSSU is Installed
Utility Ready Storage (URS) installations that have EVA devices configured in the Utility Meter must have
version 9.0.0 of the CV EVA Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU) software installed on the Utility Meter.
Perform the following procedure on the Utility Meter to verify that version 9.0.0 of the SSSU software is
installed on the Utility Meter for URS EVA installations. On the Utility Meter:
1. Log in as root.
2. Execute the following command:
# /opt/SSSU/sssu
You should see output that is similar to the following displayed, where the line beginning with
"Version:" is the SSSU version:
SSSU for HP StorageWorks Command View EVA
Version: 9.0.0
If you do not see version 9.0.0 of the CV EVA SSSU software displayed, install the correct version of the
SSSU software by following the instructions in Section 2.8: “URS EVA Only – Installing the CV EVA SSSU
Software”.
If you see the correct version of the CV EVA SSSU software displayed, then you have successfully verified
that the correct version of the CV EVA SSSU software is installed and no further action is necessary.
