2.2 Skills Required
The Utility Meter software installation and configuration requires the following skills:
• HP-UX operating system concepts, commands, and configuration
• PPU Agent software commands and configuration (for PPU installations that use PPU Agent software)
• CIM commands such as cimserver and cimprovider (for PPU installations that use PPU WBEM
Partition/Server)
• Disk array configuration and Command View product experience (for URS installations)
• sendmail experience and understanding of detailed information in the appropriate (HP–UX 11i v2,

2.3 Before Going to the Customer Site
For initial Utility Meter installation and configuration, make sure you have the following items before going
to the customer site:
• The Utility Meter Site Preparation Form must have all values filled out. For details, see Appendix A “Site
Preparation Form for Pay Per Use” or Appendix B “Site Preparation Form for Utility Ready Storage”.
The preparation form contains the networking and Utility Meter information you need to complete the
Utility Meter installation. You must work with the customer to complete this preparation form.
IMPORTANT: HP recommends that the IP address and hostname of the Utility Meter are entered into
the customer's DNS tables prior to installing and configuring the Utility Meter software. The propagation
of the Utility Meter's IP address and hostname into DNS may take some time to occur.
• The HP-UX server that is used as the Utility Meter system needs a keyboard, mouse, and video (capable
of running X Windows applications) only for Utility Meter installation and configuration. After installation,
the keyboard, mouse, and video are not required. You must ensure that the customer can provide (or
was included in the order) a keyboard, mouse, and video (capable of running X Windows applications)
or you will need to provide them yourself. (Customers have many keyboard, mouse, and video
alternatives, including: direct connection, KVM switch, Web, remote, and other methods.)
• The Utility Meter system's password for the user root. You can obtain this password from the customer.
• Access to the Utility Meter software (either HP product T2805AA for PPU or T5462A for URS):
