Troubleshooting HyperFabric
Running Diagnostics
Chapter 6 135
Make sure 4X HyperFabric adapters are installed on the
nodes. The adapter type field indicates the type of
HyperFabric adapter that is installed. HMP will only run on
4X HF2 PCI (A6386A) adapters.
Check the firmware file field to make sure the firmware file
name for each HyperFabric adapter ends in 32c. All of the
HyperFabric adapters in the fabric must have firmware files
that end in 32c for HMP to run. If this is not the case, run the
following commands in the order listed below:
$ clic_shutdown
$ clic_init
(The answer to the interoperability question must be
consistent on all nodes in the fabric.)
$ clic_start
All of the IP addresses in the fabric must be in the same
subnet. The lower 10 digits of all of the IP addresses in the
fabric must be unique. Every HyperFabric adapter in the
fabric must be able to communicate with every other
HyperFabric adapter in the fabric.
Every HyperFabric adapter in the fabric must be connected,
point-to-point or via a switch. If one of the adapters in the
fabric is not connected, HMP will not be able to run.
Run diagnostics to make sure data can be transferred on the
HyperFabric adapters. Use the following command (which is
detailed in the next section of this chapter):
$ clic_diag
If you are running an Oracle application using HMP and
traffic does not appear to be flowing after completing all of
the steps listed above, check the
ORAHOME/rdbms/log/alert*log files. The display should
show Cluster Interconnect IPC version:Oracle using
HP-HMP logged in the alert log files. If not, recompile the
Oracle application to run using HMP according to the
instructions provided in the Oracle Installation and
Administration Guide.
