9.3 HP Pay per use Utility Meter II Software Installation and Configuration Guide (July 2011)

NOTE: All of the WBEM commands are located in /opt/wbem/sbin. If this directory is not in your
$PATH, you should add it.
a. # cimconfig -lc
The following parameters need to be set differently than the default:
sslClientVerificationMode=optional
enableSubscriptionsForNonprivilegedUsers=true
enableNamespaceAuthorization=true
b. To change the parameters, enter the following commands:
# cimconfig -s sslClientVerificationMode=optional -p
# cimconfig -s enableSubscriptionsForNonprivilegedUsers=true -p
# cimconfig -s enableNamespaceAuthorization=true -p
c. Restart the cimserver:
# cimserver -s
# cimserver
d. Add authorizations to the indicated namespaces for the non-root user account:
# cimauth -a -u wbemuser -n root/cimv2 -R -W
# cimauth -a -u wbemuser -n root/PG_InterOp -R -W
# cimauth -a -u wbemuser -n root/PG_Internal -R -W
# cimauth -a -u wbemuser -n root/cimv2/npar -R -W
# cimauth -a -u wbemuser -n root/cimv2/vpar -R -W
# cimauth -a -u wbemuser -n root/cimv2/hpvm -R -W
e. Verify that the authorizations were added correctly:
# cimauth -l
4. Verify that the certificate on each partition has the correct FQDN listed for the commonName field (two
places):
# ssltrustmgr -l -f /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem
If the commonName has the incorrect FQDN, recreate it using the following:
# cimserver -s
# gen_wbem_certs
# cimserver
3.6 Date and Time Synchronization
The date and time of the meter and all of the partitions should be synchronized. This can be done by using
the NTP service. Any difference between the date and time on the partition and on the meter can result in
the meter trying to collect future (non-existent) usage data which can result in empty usage values being sent
to HP.
• If NTP server is available, then synchronize data and time using the /usr/sbin/ntpdate <NTP
Server>.
• If the NTP server is not available, then manually set the date and time using ‘date’ command.
