Removing HyperFabric on HP9000 and Integrity servers

This section discusses the procedure to remove HyperFabric from a HP9000 server. You can follow

the same procedure to remove HyperFabric from HP Integrity servers and for HP-UX 11iv3.

1. Run the following command to halt all HyperFabric processes

#opt/clic/bin/clic_shutdown

2. Find the HyperFabric software with the following command

#swlist |grep hyper

3. Remove the HyperFabric software and drivers by running the following command:

swremove –x autoboot=true -x autoselect_dependencies=true HyprFabrc - 00

4. View the

/etc/services file to ensure that these two HyperFabric-related lines are commented

out or deleted from file:

a. hp-clic 3384/tcp #clic management daemon

b. hp-clic 3384/udp #clic switch management

5. Verify where the cards are installed by running the following command:

#ioscan -nf -C clic

6. Note down the device path.

7. Stop the system, remove the card, and boot up.

8. Verify if the adaptor entry is removed from the following files:

a. /etc/rc.config.d/clic_global_conf

b. /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Verify and/or remove the following files and directories from each server:

• /etc/opt/resmon/dictionary/clic_01

The HyperFabric dictionary file for the Event Monitoring Service (EMS).

• /etc/rc.config.d/clic_global_conf

The global configuration file, which contains the IP addresses for each adapter and each

HyperFabric switch (if any) in the fabric.

• /sbin/init.d/clic

The system boot startup script for the HyperFabric management process.

• /var/adm/clic_ip_drv.trc

One of the software’s trace files. This file is created when the clic_diag -D TCP_IP command is

run.

• /var/adm/clic_ip_drv.trc0

One of the HyperFabric software’s trace files. This is the primary file that is created when the

clic_diag -C TCP_IP command is run.

• /var/adm/clic_ip_drv.trc1

One of the HyperFabric software’s trace files. This file is created when the clic_diag -C TCP_IP

command is run, and the primary trace file (clic_ip_drv.trc0) becomes full.

• /var/adm/clic_log

The global log file that is updated by the HyperFabric management process.
