HP HyperFabric manual On node a

Configuring HyperFabric

Information You Need

Using the configuration information in Figure 4-1, the information you would specify when you run clic_init or SAM on each of the nodes is listed below. This example is not an exact depiction of the prompts produced by clic_init nor the fields in SAM, 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?

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 4-1 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? (255.255.225.0)

7.Do you want to enable switch management? You cannot enable switch management through SAM (you must use the clic_init command).

As stated earlier, HP recommends that you do not enable switch management. However, if you do enable it, you must provide the information in items 8 through 14.

8.If switch management has been enabled, how many switches will be configured? As stated earlier, HP recommends that you do not enable switch management.

9.What is the IP address of the first switch (sw_clic0)? (193.0.0.20)

10.What is the Ethernet hardware address of the first switch?

(0060b0d00257)

11.What is the IP address of the second switch (sw_clic1)? (193.0.0.21)
