Installation and Configuration Guide

Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring the Utility Meter Software

Important: The CD should automatically eject after the install is complete. If the CD does not

eject, make sure to eject the CD before the system reboots, otherwise the installation begins

again.

Installing Using Integrated Lights-Out

To install the Utility Meter software using Integrated Lights-Out (iLO), complete the following steps:

1. Use Firefox or Internet Explorer to set up the Utility Meter software image. Log into iLO using

the credentials (URL, Username, and Password) that are located on the tag that comes with

the DL 320 server.

2. Select the Virtual Media tab and then select Virtual Media Applet. A virtual media (Java

Dialog) appears.

a. In the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM section, select Local Image File.

b. Click Browse to locate the ISO image that you obtained in “Obtaining the Utility Meter

Software”.

c. Click Connect.

3. Return to the iLO window and select the Remote Console tab and click the Remote Console

link. A Remote Console opens.

4. Go back to the iLO window and select the Power Management tab.

5. Click Reset or Cold Boot.

6. The Utility Meter software installation will start. Monitor the console for any installation errors.

7. Once the installation is completed, the system will reboot automatically. When the system

begins rebooting, make sure to return to the Virtual Media dialog and disconnect the ISO image

from the virtual media, otherwise the installation will repeat after the system reboots.

8. Once the install is complete and the system has rebooted, log on as user umeter (default

password: h.lnxmtr). To verify that the Utility Meter application is running, execute the

following command :

$ umadmin status

The output should be similar to the following:

/opt/hp/RemoteSupport/umeter/bin/ucd is running as pid 31962

The Process ID (pid) number may differ from your output. If the process is not running, stop

and restart the Utility Meter application by executing the following commands:

$ umadmin stop

$ umadmin start

9. Enter the umadmin configure command to perform the required minimum Utility Meter

configuration.

Note: At a minimum, you need to run umadmin configure to configure the hostname and

network parameters at this point during the installation, otherwise the Graphical User

Interface (GUI) will not open properly.
