Conﬁguring HyperFabric

Information You Need

Chapter 4 75

Using the conﬁguration information in Figure 4-1, the information you

would specify when you run clic_init or SAM on each of the nodes is

listed below. This example is not an exact depiction of the prompts

produced by clic_init nor the ﬁelds in SAM, but merely an example of

the ﬂow of information input. In addition, 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 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)

4. What is the subnet mask of the ﬁrst adapter? (255.255.255.0)

If you do not specify a value for this, a default mask is chosen. You

will most likely just accept the default. However, in this example, we

are showing a value for the subnet mask just to illustrate the

correlation between the “dummy” information in Figure 4-1 and

where that information is speciﬁed or generated during clic_init

and SAM.

5. What is the IP address of the second adapter (clic1)? (192.0.8.3)

6. What is the subnet mask of the second adapter? (255.255.225.0)

7. Do you want to enable switch management? You cannot enable

switch management through SAM (you must use the clic_init

command).

As stated earlier, HP recommends that you do not enable switch

management. However, if you do enable it, you must provide the

information in items 8 through 14.

8. If switch management has been enabled, how many switches will be

conﬁgured? As stated earlier, HP recommends that you do not enable

switch management.

9. What is the IP address of the ﬁrst switch (sw_clic0)? (193.0.0.20)

10. What is the Ethernet hardware address of the ﬁrst switch?

(0060b0d00257)

11. What is the IP address of the second switch (sw_clic1)?

(193.0.0.21)
