Configuring HyperFabric

Performing the Configuration

 

 

Using SAM

 

 

This section describes how to use SAM to configure HyperFabric. For

 

 

information on how to use SAM to configure and deconfigure local

 

 

failover feature on HMP, see “Configuring HMP for Transparent Local

 

 

Failover Support - Using SAM” on page 102 and “Deconfiguring HMP for

 

 

Local Failover support - Using SAM” on page 103.

 

 

 

IMPORTANT

 

If the global configuration file already exists, and you are running SAM

 

 

again (to change the file), you can keep or modify the existing

 

 

configuration information, in addition to adding new information

 

 

pertaining to new hardware.

 

 

Also, once you’ve completed your changes and SAM ends its processing,

 

 

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). Otherwise, your configuration information

 

 

changes will not take effect. See “Stopping HyperFabric” on page 128 and

 

 

“Starting HyperFabric” on page 109 for more information.
