Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual (H06.16+, J06.05+)

invoked when a CLIM stops because of issues in software. A snapshot file that captures the CLIM
debug files is created when a CLIM has failed due to a software or hardware problem or when a
CLIM is aborted by the operator by using the CLIMCMD clim abort command. The snapshot
is created as /home/debuginfo/clim-date-time.tgz. (date-time is computed and
replaced automatically). The snapshot includes the network configuration files, core files of the
CLIM software components, and network configuration in the kernel. This automatically created
snapshot is available as of the J06.04 and H06.16 RVUs.
However, in the following scenarios, the CLIM snapshot file is not created automatically:
• Configuration issues
• Failover issues
• Any issue that does not result in an intended or unintended stop of the CLIM or CLIM software
In these scenarios, create the CLIM snapshot manually by using the CLIMCMD command clim
with the onlinedebug parameter on the problematic CLIM. The onlinedebug parameter
manually generates and archives the snapshot file /home/debuginfo/clim-date-time.tgz.
The onlinedebug parameter is available as of J06.05 and H06.16.
HP recommends sending this snapshot to your support provider for analysis during troubleshooting.
CLIMCMD clim Command
CLIMCMD {clim-name | clim-ip-address} clim [abort | clearlog | reboot
| start | onlinedebug | enable-policy-routing | disable-policy-routing | info ]
abort
Abort and dump all CLIM processes.
clearlog
Allows a CLIM that has stopped trying to restart itself after reaching a retry threshold to be
resumed. Should be followed by 'clim start'.
reboot
Reboots the CLIM, after taking a system memory dump.
start
Starts the CLIM software. The CLIMMON, CONFSYNC, CLIMAGT, and CIPSSRV processes
are started. Before starting the processes, CLIM related information is packaged into a
compressed tar file for debugging purpose.
onlinedebug
Packages clim-related information into a compressed tar file for debugging purposes.
enable-policy-routing
Enables policy based routing, which ensures that the interface with the IP address bound by a
socket will be used by that socket for outgoing network traffic, or that an interface with an IP
address in the source address of the network packet is used for routing the packet.
The default is enable-policy-routing.
disable-policy-routing
Disables policy routing on the next CLIM reboot.
info
Provides clim configuration information. This command displays the current value/status of
configurable clim parameters.
clim Command Examples
If you need to reboot the CLIM, issue the CLIMCMD clim command with the clearlog and reboot
