Application Availability, Features | HP HyperFabric specs

Planning the Fabric

TCP/UDP/IP

TCP/UDP/IP is supported on all HF2 hardware. Although some of the HyperFabric adapter cards support both HMP and TCP/UDP/IP applications, in this section, the focus is on TCP/UDP/IP HyperFabric applications.

Application Availability

All applications, including Oracle 9i and HP-MPI, that use the

TCP/UDP/IP stack are supported.

Features

This section discusses the following HyperFabric features on

TCP/UDP/IP:

•OnLine Addition and Replacement (OLAR): Supported

The OLAR feature allows the replacement or addition of HyperFabric adapter cards while the system (node) is running. HyperFabric supports this functionality on the SD64A, rx8620, rx4640, rp54xx (L-class), rp74xx (N-class), rp8400 and Superdome systems, running on the HP-UX 11i v2 platform.

For more information on OLAR, including instructions for implementing this feature, see “Online Addition and Replacement” on page 44 and Conﬁguring HP-UX for Peripherals Part Number B2355-90698 November 2000 Edition.

•Event Monitoring Service (EMS): Supported

In the HyperFabric version B.11.23.01, the HyperFabric EMS monitor enables the system administrator to separately monitor each HyperFabric adapter on every node in the fabric, in addition to monitoring the entire HyperFabric subsystem. The monitor can inform the user if the resource being monitored is UP or DOWN. The administrator deﬁnes the condition to trigger a notiﬁcation (usually a change in interface status). Notiﬁcation can be accomplished with one of the following:

— A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap
