HP HyperFabric manual Performing the Configuration

Configuring HyperFabric

Performing the Configuration

•Subnet Mask—Optional. The adapter’s subnet mask. If you do not specify this, a default mask is chosen based on the adapter’s IP address.

•Interoperability Enabled—Required. Whether you want the adapter to be able to interoperate with adapters that are using; any HP-UX 11.0 HyperFabric versions earlier than B.11.00.11 or any HP-UX 11i v1 HyperFabric versions earlier than B.11.11.01. Note that if you select No, the HyperFabric software on the system will not be backwards compatible with previous releases. This means you must update all of the other systems in the fabric to the version that is running on the system.

Default: No.

Step 7. Select OK (remember, you cannot enable switch management within SAM).

Step 8. Exit SAM.

Once SAM has finished, you do one of the following things:

•If you want to configure HyperFabric with ServiceGuard, complete the configuration described in “Configuring HyperFabric with ServiceGuard” on page 87, then run clic_start or use SAM to start HyperFabric.

•If you have just created the global configuration file on the local node for the first time (and you are not configuring ServiceGuard), run clic_start or use SAM to start HyperFabric.

•If you have just changed an existing configuration file on the node, run clic_shutdown or use SAM to stop HyperFabric, and then run clic_start or use SAM to start HyperFabric. Until you do those two things, your configuration changes will not take effect.

See “Stopping HyperFabric” on page 128 and “Starting HyperFabric” on page 109 for more information.
