Configuring HyperFabric
Performing the Configuration
Chapter 4 79
Using the clic_init Command
Run the clic_init command to create the global configuration file.
To view the man page for clic_init see “Viewing man Pages” on
page 127 of this manual.
To use clic_init to configure the Transparent Local Failover feature on
HMP, see the section, “Configuring HMP for Transparent Local Failover
Support - Using the clic_init command” on page 104.
IMPORTANT If the global configuration file already exists and you are running
clic_init again (to change the file), you have the option of retaining or
modifying the existing configuration information, in addition to adding
new information pertaining to new hardware.
Also, once you have completed your changes and clic_init ends its
processing, you must stop HyperFabric (by running the clic_shutdown
command or using SAM) and then start HyperFabric (by running the
clic_start command or using SAM). Otherwise, your configuration
information changes will not take effect. See “Stopping HyperFabric” on
page 128 and “Starting HyperFabric” on page 109 for more information.
If you include /opt/clic/bin in your PATH statement, you can run the
command as it is shown below. Otherwise, you must include
/opt/clic/bin as part of the command name (that is,
/opt/clic/bin/clic_init).
You must be logged in as root to run this command.
The syntax is as follows:
clic_init [-c] [-?]
where
• -c specifies that you want to create the global configuration file. You
are prompted for the information described in “Information You
Need” on page 71. Note that if the global configuration file already
exists (for example, when you are adding an adapter to an existing
fabric), clic_init prompts you with the existing configuration
information. As you are prompted with each piece of information, you
can then confirm that you want to keep it or you can change it.
• -? displays the online help for clic_init.
