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

If clim-name is specified, the command line interface uses the SCF INFO CLIM CLIM-NAME,
DETAIL display to get the dedicated service LAN IP address corresponding to that CLIM. If the IP
address is specified, the command line interface uses SSH to run remote commands on the
CLIM.
For a MULTIPROV ON CLIM, -provider specifies the provider in which the command should be
executed.
If you omit command[arguments] from the CLIMCMD command, a list of supported Linux
commands for the specified CLIM is displayed.
CLIMCMD requires the presence of the dedicated service LAN Providers ZTCP0 and ZTCP1 and
the secure shell processes ZSSP0 and ZSSP1.
One of the CLIMCMD commands is climconfig. The climconfig command takes many arguments
and supplies most of the configuration interface to the CLIM. climconfig never requires the -provider
option to CLIMCMD. Refer to “Using Linux Commands and Custom CIP Commands” (page 69)
for a list of commands that must have the provider specified. Also see “Climconfig (Man Pages)”
(page 301) for syntax descriptions of these commands. Other CLIMCMD commands are documented
in this chapter.
The CLIMCMD command line interface has these assumptions:
• The dedicated service LAN (eth0) is operational.
• The CLIM has been properly installed and configured, with a secure relationship established
between the CLIM and the NonStop console.
Errors
• climname is an invalid CLIM name
• Maintenance Interface IP Address is not known
• Neither (ZSSP0,ZTCP0) nor (ZSSP1,ZTCP1) pair of processes exist
• Connection could not be established to the clim climname
Configuring CIP
To use CIP, you must configure components on the NonStop host system and the CLIM. It doesn’t
matter which set of components you configure first.
This subsection covers configuring CIP:
• “On the NonStop Host System” (page 72)
• “On the CLIM” (page 81)
On the NonStop Host System
Configure CIP components on the NonStop host system by using SCF. First add CIP processes to
the system configuration database by issuing SCF commands to the NonStop Kernel subsystem.
Then define the CIP management objects by issuing SCF commands to the CIP subsystem.
For more details about SCF commands you use with CIP, see Chapter 10 (page 216).
Configuration tasks explained in this subsection include:
• “Configuring CIP Processes for Persistence” (page 73)
• “Other CIP Management Objects” (page 73)
• “Setting the Host Names (IP and Telco CIP Only)” (page 74)
• “Customize the NETWORKS File” (page 77)
