Hyper Messaging Protocol (HMP)

Configuring HMP for Local Failover Support

This section describes how to use SAM to configure HMP for Local

Failover Support.

IMPORTANT Currently, you must use only SAM to configure HMP for Local Failover

Support.

To use SAM to configure HMP for Local Failover Support, follow these

steps:

Step 1. Start SAM.

Step 2. Select the “Networking and Communications” area.

Step 3. Select “HyperFabric.”

All HyperFabric adapters installed in the system are listed; installed

adapters that are not yet configured show Not Configured in the

“Status” field. Before proceeding to the next step, configure all the

available adapters.

Step 4. Pull down the "Actions" menu and select "Local Failover Configuration

for HMP". SAM now verifies the following:

• If not all the adapters are configured

• If the number of adapters configured are odd

• If “Interoperability Enabled” is set to YES

If any of the above conditions is true, then SAM displays an

appropriate error message. Otherwise, the “Configure Local Failover

for HMP” window pops up.

Step 5. In this window, specify the configured adapters for each card pair and

press OK.

On pressing OK, SAM verifies the following:

• If all card pairs are not configured

• If you have chosen the same adapter for different card pairs
