Conﬁguring HMP for Transparent Local Failover

Support - Using SAM

To use SAM to conﬁgure HMP for Local Failover Support, complete the

following steps:

Step 1. Start SAM.

Step 2. Select the “Networking and Communications” area.

Step 3. 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. Before proceeding to the next step, conﬁgure all the

available adapters.

Step 4. Pull down the "Actions" menu and select "Conﬁgure Local Failover for

HMP". SAM now veriﬁes the following:

• If not all the adapters are conﬁgured

• If the number of adapters conﬁgured are odd

• If “Interoperability Enabled” is set to YES

If any of the above conditions is true, then SAM displays an

appropriate error message. Otherwise, the “Conﬁgure Local Failover

for HMP” window pops up.

Step 5. In this window, specify the conﬁgured adapters for each card pair and

press OK.

On pressing OK, SAM veriﬁes the following:

• If HyperFabric subsystem is not running on the machine

• If all card pairs are not conﬁgured

• If you have chosen the same adapter for different card pairs

If any of the above conditions is true, SAM displays an appropriate

error message. Otherwise, the

/etc/rc.config.d/clic_global_conf ﬁle is updated with

information about the conﬁgured card pairs. If Card-Pair 0 comprises
