Managing HyperFabric

Displaying Status and Statistics

Displaying Status and Statistics

You can get the status of and statistics associated with many of the HyperFabric components by using the clic_stat command, which is described below.

The clic_stat Command

The following list contains some of the information that the clic_stat command will provide:

•The current fabric map, in textual format.

•The status of one or more HyperFabric adapters.

•The global configuration information for each HyperFabric adapter and switch (if the fabric contains switches). The information includes the firmware type (8-bit or 32-bit), which is used for interoperability purposes.

The clic_stat command can also be used to enable or disable performance statistics gathering for the DLPI driver, the firmware and HMP.

All of the statistics that can be displayed using the clic_stat command are documented in the clic_stat (1M) man page on HP-UX 11.0 and on later HP-UX releases.

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_stat).

To use some of this command’s parameters, you must be logged in as root (see each parameter’s description below).

The syntax is as follows:

clic_stat [-pperf_level] [-ddisplay_level] [-cadapter_ID]

[-n nodename] [-?]

Note that the second line in the above syntax is indented for readability purposes only. When the command is typed there should not be any indentation.

The command parameters are as follows:

•-penables/disables performance statistics gathering according to the value of perf_level, which is one of the following:

TCP

Enables DLPI driver statistics when under the

 

TCP/IP stack.

HMP

Enables Hyper Messaging Protocol (HMP)

 

statistics gathering.

FW

Enables firmware statistics gathering.

RST

Disables/resets the DLPI driver and HMP

 

statistics.
