HyperFabric Release Notes
Known Problems and Workarounds
Chapter 18
The result is that HyperFabric cannot find the existing configuration information,
because it has been removed from its normal locations.
WORKAROUND: After the HyperFabric software installation is complete, you must run
clic_init -c to create the global configuration file. When you do this, consider the
following things:
— If you want to keep the existing configuration: You must re-specify the existing
configuration information when you run clic_init -c. To do this, refer to the
contents of the two files that were moved to the /tmp/clic. software_version /
directory (the existing configuration information is stored in those two files). Then,
specify that configuration information when you run clic_init -c.
— If you do not want to keep the existing configuration (that is, you want to do a new
configuration): Run clic_init -c and specify the configuration information you
prefer.
• HP-UX 11i v1 installation issue on systems that have HyperFabric cards. Customers
installing or re-installing HP-UX 11i v1 using the “Guided Installation” option may
encounter a program loop during network configuration the first time the system reboots.
This is not due to a defective card.
WORKAROUND: Use the “Advanced Configuration” rather than the “Guided
Installation” when installing or re-installing HP-UX 11i v1 on a system that has
HyperFabric cards installed on it.
• When the HyperFabric software is upgraded from version B.11.00.10 (or earlier), or from
version B.11.11.00, to the higher versions of HyperFabric software, if there are PCI 1X
cards (A4919A) installed on the systems being upgraded, doing a clic_start will fail. The
following error messages will be displayed for the adapter:
— #/opt/clic/bin/clic_start
— Searching for HyperFabric adapters...
— Starting the HyperFabric management daemon
— ERROR: clic2 interface: ifconfig: plumb error: Unknown error
— Ifconfig failed on the HyperFabric adapters
This is because a new field has been added to the Hyperfabric configuration file,
/etc/rc.config.d/clic_global_conf, to enable HMP.
• Some of the directory structure of Hyperfabric software remains on the system even after
removing the Hyperfabric software (for example, /opt/clic). This will be fixed in future
releases.
