Managing HyperFabric

Starting HyperFabric

The clic_start -?command can be issued to display the online help for clic_start, or look at the clic_start (1m) man page by issuing the man clic_start command.

If HyperFabric is already running, you will receive an informational (FYI) message telling you so. Your reaction to this message depends on the situation:

•If you have simply forgotten (or did not know) that HyperFabric was already running, you do not have to do anything.

•If you have changed the HyperFabric configuration with the clic_init command or SMH, 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). See either “Using the clic_shutdown Command” on page 110 or “Using SMH” on page 111, whichever is appropriate.
