Starting HyperFabric
HyperFabric is started in one of these three ways:
• As part of the normal local node boot process (HP 9000 system).
• By running the HyperFabric clic_start command (described
below).
• By starting HyperFabric through SAM (described in “Using
SAM—HP-UX 11.0 and 11i v1 0nly” on page 126).
HyperFabric needs to be started in the following situations:
• If HyperFabric hardware and software have just been installed on
the system and the clic_init command or SAM (HP-UX 11.0 and
11i v1 0nly) has been used to configure the HyperFabric adapters on
this node.
• If the HyperFabric configuration has been changed by using the
clic_init command or using SAM (HP-UX 11.0 and 11i v1 0nly). In
this situation, you must have run clic_shutdown or used SAM to
stop HyperFabric (HP-UX 11.0 and 11i v1 0nly), before restarting
HyperFabric.
• If a new HyperFabric adapter has been added to a system online and
configured using clic_init. In this situation, it is not necessary to
run clic_shutdown before running clic_start (see “Online
Addition and Replacement—HP-UX 11i v1 Only” on page 52).
NOTE Starting HyperFabric launches the HyperFabric CLuster InterConnect
(CLIC) daemon (clic_mgmtd). This daemon process must be running for
the HyperFabric product to operate correctly. It is possible that other
daemons will be running, but it is essential that at least one CLIC
daemon is running. To check if a CLIC daemon is running, use the
following command:
ps-ef|grepclic
If the CLIC daemon is not running, start the HyperFabric subsystem by
executing the following command:
