HP HyperFabric manual Information You Need

Configuring HyperFabric

Information You Need

❏ For the entire fabric, you need the IP multicast address that all the switches and nodes in the fabric will register to. The address must be a class D address. Note that if you do not have switch management enabled, you do not need this information (clic_init will not prompt you for it).

❏ For each node in the fabric, you need the IP address of the node’s Ethernet LAN

	interface that is on the same subnet as the switches. (As mentioned earlier, a node
	might have multiple LAN interfaces.) Note that if you do not have switch
	management enabled, you do not need this information (clic_init will not prompt you
	for it).
	As stated earlier, HP recommends that you do not enable switch management.
IMPORTANT	You should also check your /etc/hosts file—when you are using files for host name look
	up—to ensure that the entries for all of the systems are in the correct format: the official
	host name, which is the full domain extended host name, and any alias names. For
	example:
	IP_address bently6.corp3.com bently6
	IP_address bently4.corp7.com test1
	IP_address bently2.corp4.com test3
