Managing HyperFabric

Starting HyperFabric

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” on page 110).

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 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. In this situation, you must have run clic_shutdown or used SAM to stop HyperFabric, 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” on page 44).

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 grep clic

If the CLIC daemon is not running, start the HyperFabric subsystem by executing the following command:

/opt/clic/bin/clic_start
