Configuring HyperFabric

Configuring HMP for Transparent Local Failover Support

Using the configuration information in Figure 4-10, the information you would specify when you run clic_init on each of the nodes is listed below. This example is not an exact depiction of the prompts produced by clic_init, but merely an example of the flow of information input. In addition, you should not try to use the dummy addresses in your actual configuration.

On node A:

1.How many HyperFabric adapters are installed on the node?

2.Do you want this node to interoperate with nodes running any HyperFabric versions earlier than B.11.00.11 or B.11.11.01? (n)

You must answer ‘no’ if you want to run applications using HMP (Local Failover or Non-Local Failover) for communication over HyperFabric. In that case, all nodes in the cluster must be running version B.11.00.11 (or) B.11.11.01 (or) later version of HyperFabric software.

3.What is the IP address of the first adapter (clic0)? (192.0.0.1)

4.What is the subnet mask of the first adapter? (255.255.255.0)

If you do not specify a value for this, a default mask is chosen. You will most likely just accept the default. However, in this example, we are showing a value for the subnet mask just to illustrate the correlation between the “dummy” information in Figure 4-10 and where that information is specified or generated during clic_init and SAM.

5.What is the IP address of the second adapter (clic1)? (192.0.8.3)

6.What is the subnet mask of the second adapter? (255.255.255.0)

7.Do you want to configure Local Failover on this node? (y)

Enter ’y’ if you are using Oracle RAC with HMP. For MPI applications, enter ’n’.

8.Select any two of the following clic adapters for CARD_PAIR[0]: clic0

clic1

Enter the first clic adapter from above listed adapters: (clic0)

Enter the second clic adapter from above listed adapters: (clic1)

9.Do you want to enable switch management? (n)
