NAME

       utild - System-utilization collection daemon

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       is  a  lightweight daemon that records system-utilization data on a 5-minute interval.  System-utilization data includes CPU, memory, disk,
       and network data.  is installed as part of the software, which also contains a WBEM provider that is the interface to the data collected by
       stores  up  to  30 days worth of utilization data and consumes minimal system resources.  The total disk space consumed by these data files
       should not exceed 20 megabytes in the default installation.  is respawned if it is killed, due to the following entry in /etc/inittab:

WARNINGS

       Removing the removes any historical data that has been collected by as well as prevents and from  functioning  properly.   To  disable  the
       software can be removed with the following command (see swremove(1M)):

FILES

       WBEM mof files documenting the class schema for retrieving utilization data
			   collected by
       Data and configuration files.  These files contain the definitions of
			   all	workloads  created  on	the system, and up to 30 days of collected utilization data.  To ensure continuity of data
			   collection and prevent loss of workload definitions, HP recommends including this directory in daily backups.

NAME

       ppu - Pay per use software for HP-UX

DESCRIPTION

       Pay per use (PPU) is a program under which customers pay only for computing capacity that they use.  The PPU software provides services for
       metering resource utilization on supported HP systems.  Depending on the type of contract a PPU system is under, utilization can be  either
       of  the	actual percentage utilization of each core, or a count of the number of active cores in the system.  The PPU software communicates
       with a utility meter to report utilization data.  The utility meter in turn transmits the utilization data to HP for proper billing.

       PPU systems must be configured to use a utility meter.  Utility meter configuration is accomplished using the command (see ppuconfig(1M)).

       The data that is sent to HP is aggregated and sent to billing; it is also posted on the Utility Pricing Solutions  portal  for  viewing	at
       http://www.hp.com/go/payperuse.

       PPU  can  be run in an HP Integrity Virtual Machines environment (HPVM).  In this case, the usage information for billing purposes is still
       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 (also called a "guest").

       In  an HPVM environment, PPU needs to be installed and configured only on the VM Host, not on the guests.  The command will report an error
       if invoked on a VM guest.
