1. Start the Utility Meter GUI. For details, see Section 3.1: “Starting the Utility Meter GUI”.
2. Inspect the Utility Meter GUI's Managed Devices Tree (left pane), and see if the switch is listed as
either IP address or hostname of:
1. a Cisco Switch device
2. an HP/Brocade SMI-S agent maintaining the actual switches
The switch should have a green circle to the left of the IP address, which indicates that it is connected
to the Utility Meter. If the switch is listed, then you have verified that the switch is configured in the Utility
Meter.
If the switch is not listed, see Section 3.5.1: “Configure a Device (Add Device)”.
3. In the Utility Meter GUI's Managed Devices Tree (left pane), click the switch's expansion button to
display the URS and non-URS disk arrays that are managed by the device.
Figure 4-6 Utility Meter GUI Managed Devices
If the physical disk arrays that are managed by the device do not appear, see Section 3.5.1: “Configure
a Device (Add Device)”.
If the Utility Meter GUI's Managed Devices Tree (left pane) contains all of the switches and SMI-S Agents,
then you have verified that they are configured and metered by the Utility Meter.
4.9.2 Verifying a Device is Connected to the Utility Meter
To verify that a device is connected to the Utility Meter, see Section 3.6.2: “Device Connection”.
If there is a problem with the connection from a device to the Utility Meter, you need to troubleshoot the
Utility Meter. For storage-device troubleshooting information, see Section 5.3.1: “Troubleshooting a Storage
Device”.
