Configuring HyperFabric

Information You Need

Configuration Information Example

For this example, we have added some “dummy” (that is, not valid) addresses to the components in Figure 4-1, Map for Configuration Information Example, below. The “dummy” addresses are used only to show the flow of the information provided as input to the clic_init command and SMH. Do not try to use these addresses in your configuration.

Using the configuration information in Figure 4-1 above, the information you would specify when you run clic_init or SMH on each of the nodes is listed below. Note that this example is not an exact depiction of the prompts produced by clic_init nor the fields in SMH, but merely an example of the flow of information input. Also, remember that you should not try to use the “dummy” addresses in your actual configuration.

On node A:

1.How many HyperFabric adapters are installed on the node?

2.Do you want this node to interoperate with nodes running any HyperFabric 10.20 version or HyperFabric versions earlier than B.11.00.11 or B.11.11.01?

3.What is the IP address of the first adapter (clic0)? (192.0.0.1)
