Manually Starting the ppud Daemon
The ppud daemon is started automatically when you specify the utility
meter using the /usr/sbin/ppuconfig -m meter command. It is also
automatically started at system boot if a utility meter is configured.
However, the ppud daemon’s process may have inadvertently been killed
on the system/partition. If the ppud daemon is not running on your PPU
system/partition, you need to start it manually.
NOTE The ppud daemon must be running on each PPU system/partition,
including virtual partitions. If the ppud daemon is not running on your
system/partition, utilization information is not sent to HP and 100%
utilization may be assumed.
To verify the ppud daemon is running, execute the following command:
/usr/bin/ps -e | grep ppud
You should see the ppud daemon listed as an active process on the
system/partition. If it is running, and the utility meter is properly
configured, utilization information is sent to HP and your PPU
system/partition is correctly configured.
If the ppud daemon is not listed as an active process, you can manually
start the ppud daemon with the following command:
/sbin/init.d/ppu start
