HP HyperFabric manual Using SMH, Step

Configuring HyperFabric

Performing the Configuration

		Using SMH
		This section describes how to use SMH1 to configure HyperFabric. For information on
		how to use SMH to configure and deconfigure local failover feature on HMP, see
		“Configuring HMP for Transparent Local Failover Support - Using SMH” on page 88.
IMPORTANT		If the global configuration file already exists, and you are running SMH again (to change
		the file), you can keep or modify the existing configuration information, in addition to
		adding new information pertaining to new hardware.
		Also, once you’ve completed your changes and SMH ends its processing, you must stop
		HyperFabric (by running the clic_shutdown command or using SMH) and then start
		HyperFabric (by running the clic_start command or using SMH). Otherwise, your
		configuration information changes will not take effect. See “Stopping HyperFabric” on
		page 110 and “Starting HyperFabric” on page 95 for more information.
		To use SMH to create the global configuration file on an HP 9000 system running
		HP-UX 11i v3, follow these steps:
Step	1.	Start SMH.
Step	2.	Select the “Networking and Communications” area.
Step	3.	Select the “Network Interfaces” option.
Step	4.	Select “HyperFabric.”
		All HyperFabric adapters installed in the system are listed; installed adapters that are
		not yet configured show Not Configured in the “Status” field.
Step	5.	Highlight the adapter you want to configure.
Step	6.	Pull down the “Actions” menu and select Configure Adapter.
Step	7.	In the “Configure HyperFabric Adapter” screen, specify information for the following
		fields:

•Internet Address—Required. The IP address of the adapter.

•Subnet Mask—Optional. The adapter’s subnet mask. If you do not specify this, a default mask is chosen based on the adapter’s IP address.

•Interoperability Enabled—Required. Whether you want the adapter to be able to interoperate with adapters that are using; any HP-UX 10.20 version of HyperFabric, any HP-UX 11.0 HyperFabric versions earlier than B.11.00.11 or any HP-UX 11i HyperFabric versions earlier than B.11.11.01. Note that if you select No, the HyperFabric software on the system will not be backwards compatible with previous releases. This means you must update all of the other systems in the fabric to the version that is running on the system.

Default: No.

Step 8. Select OK (remember, you cannot enable switch management within SMH).

1.The HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) is an enhanced version of System Administration Manager (SAM) and is introduced for managing HP-UX.
