HP HyperFabric manual Using the clicinit Command

Configuring HyperFabric

Doing the Configuration

	Using the clic_init Command
	Run the clic_init command to create the global configuration file.
IMPORTANT	If the global configuration file already exists and you are running clic_init again (to
	change the file), you have the option of retaining or modifying the existing configuration
	information, in addition to adding new information pertaining to new hardware.
	Also, once you’ve completed your changes and clic_init 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 99 and “Starting HyperFabric” on page 85 for more information.
	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_init).
	You must be logged in as root to run this command.
	The syntax is as follows:
	clic_init [-c] [-?]
	where
	• -cspecifies that you want to create the global configuration file. You are prompted
	for the information described in “Information You Need” on page 86. Note that if the
	global configuration file already exists (for example, when you are adding an adapter
	to an existing fabric), clic_init prompts you with the existing configuration
	information. As you are prompted with each piece of information, you can then
	confirm that you want to keep it or you can change it.
	• -?displays the online help for clic_init.
	If you do not specify any of the above parameters, the online help for clic_init is
	displayed.
	After you have entered the information for all the adapters in the node and all of the
	switches (if any) in the fabric, a summary of the configuration information is displayed.
	Once clic_init has finished, you do one of the following things:
	• If you want to configure HyperFabric with MC/ServiceGuard, complete the
	configuration described in “Configuring HyperFabric with MC/ServiceGuard” on
	page 98, 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 MC/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 99 and “Starting HyperFabric” on page 85 for more
	information.
