Avoiding CVAE Device Manager Refresh Conflicts
The CVAE CLI executes a refresh of the CVAE Device Manager database prior to collecting URS
XP usage information. The refresh ensures that up-to-date XP array usage information is obtained.
However, the refresh can fail for the following reasons:
l The XP array is offline.
l Someone is currently accessing the XP array using Remote Web Console in Modify mode.
l Someone is logged into the CVAE Device Manager using the same account that the Utility
Meter is using for the CVAE CLI refresh. The Utility Meter uses the account that was specified
in the Add Device dialog pane when the XP array was added.
If the refresh operation fails, URS XP usage collection is not reattempted until the next collection
time, and no URS report is created. When URS XP usage information cannot be collected, this
may cause derived URS XP usage to be billed. (For information about derived URS XP usage, see
section: “Missing Usage Reports”.)
HP recommends that you perform the following actions to avoid conflicts and prevent the use of
derived values for URS billing:
1. Create an additional account on the CVAE Device Manager to be used exclusively by the
Utility Meter for URS XP usage collection. This account must be created with Modify
privileges.
2. Specify this account's Username and Password in the Add Device dialog pane on the
Utility Meter GUI when adding (or modifying) an XP array.
