You have access to detailed PPU usage information through
a web portal. The PPU web portal contains the sample usage information
for every five-minute measurement interval. You can access the information
for a particular day, or a selected range of days.
NOTE: In an HP Integrity Virtual Machines environment (HPVM),
the usage information for billing purposes is based on the overall
usage for the VM Host. However, you can examine the usage report
at the portal to see a detailed breakdown of the usage for each
virtual machine guest. Guest information is associated with the
Virtual CPU column.
The PPU web portal can be accessed from the HP web site:
Initial access to the PPU web portal requires registration
using your system-identification information. The system-identification
consists of the system serial number plus a unique ID. The unique
ID can be identified from the MP on partitionable systems, from
the getconf CS_MACHINE_IDENT command on HP-UX partitionable systems, or it can be
found at the tag <uniqueidentifier> in a PPU usage report. See “PPU
Usage Report” for more information. After your password-protected
account is set up, you can access usage information for your PPU
servers.
NOTE: Usage data is posted to the PPU web portal two days
after it was collected. For example, usage data for today is available
at the portal two days from today.
For
OpenVMS
The system-identification information can be displayed for
the partition by entering the following DCL command:
$ ppu show portal Unique ID: a1db8784-1111-2222-3333-908070A0B03f System serial number: XX07740001
