Installing HyperFabric

Installing HyperFabric Adapters

At this time, Superdome systems are not intended for access by users. HP recommends that these systems only be opened by a qualified HP engineer. Failure to observe this requirement can invalidate any support agreement or warranty to which the owner might otherwise be entitled.

There are two methods to add or replace OLAR-compatible cards:

•Using the SAM or SMH1 utility.

System Administration Manager (SAM) is deprecated in the 11i v3 release of HP-UX. HP recommends that you use HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) in an HP-UX 11i v3 system. For OLAR operations, use the new pdweb utility, integrated in SMH.

•Issuing command-line commands, through rad, that refer to the HyperFabric OLAR script (/usr/sbin/olard.d/clicd).

HP recommends that pdweb be used for OLAR procedures, instead of the rad command. This is primarily because pdweb prevents the user from doing things that might have adverse effects. This is not true when the rad command is used.

For detailed information about using either of these two procedures, see Interface Card OL* Support Guide.

Table 3-1 below explains some important OLAR-related terms.
