Conﬁguring HyperFabric

Performing the Conﬁguration

Chapter 4 81

Using SAM

This section describes how to use SAM to conﬁgure HyperFabric. For

information on how to use SAM to conﬁgure and deconﬁgure local

failover feature on HMP, see “Conﬁguring HMP for Transparent Local

Failover Support - Using SAM” on page 102 and “Deconﬁguring HMP for

Local Failover support - Using SAM” on page 103.

IMPORTANT If the global conﬁguration ﬁle already exists, and you are running SAM

again (to change the ﬁle), you can keep or modify the existing

conﬁguration information, in addition to adding new information

pertaining to new hardware.

Also, once you’ve completed your changes and SAM 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.

To use SAM to create the global conﬁguration ﬁle on an HP 9000 system

running HP-UX 11i v2, follow these 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.

Step 4. Highlight the adapter you want to conﬁgure.

Step 5. Pull down the “Actions” menu and select Configure Adapter.

Step 6. In the “Conﬁgure HyperFabric Adapter” screen, specify information for

the following ﬁelds:

• Internet Address—Required. The IP address of the adapter.
