HP HyperFabric manual Using the clicstart Command, Using SAM

Managing HyperFabric

Starting HyperFabric

Using the clic_start Command

Run the clic_start command on each node to start the HyperFabric management process on that node.

If you include /opt/clic/bin in your PATH statement, you can run the command as it is shown below. Otherwise, you must include /opt/clic/bin as part of the command name (that is, /opt/clic/bin/clic_start).

You must be logged in as root to run this command.

The syntax is as follows:

clic_start

The clic_start -?command can be issued to display the online help for clic_start, or look at the clic_start (1m) man page by issuing the man clic_start command.

If HyperFabric is already running, you will receive an informational (FYI) message telling you so. Your reaction to this message depends on the situation:

•If you have simply forgotten (or did not know) that HyperFabric was already running, you do not have to do anything.

•If you have changed the HyperFabric configuration with the clic_init command or SAM, you must stop HyperFabric (by running the clic_shutdown command or using SAM) and then start HyperFabric (by running the clic_start command or using SAM). See either “Using the clic_shutdown Command” on page 128 or “Using SAM” on page 129, whichever is appropriate.
