Displaying Status and Statistics
You can get the status of and statistics associated with many of the HyperFabric
components by using the clic_stat command, which is described below.
The clic_stat Command
The following list contains some of the information that the clic_stat command will
provide:
• The current fabric map, in textual format.
• The status of one or more HyperFabric adapters.
• The global configuration information for each HyperFabric adapter and switch (if the
fabric contains switches). The information includes the firmware type (8-bit or
32-bit), which is used for interoperability purposes.
• The card pair information, if you configure HyperFabric in the local failover mode
(applicable to applications using HMP)
The clic_stat command can also be used to enable or disable performance statistics
gathering for the DLPI driver, the firmware and HMP.
All of the statistics that can be displayed using the clic_stat command are
documented in the clic_stat (1M) man page on a HP-UX 11i v3 releases.
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_stat).
To use some of this command’s parameters, you must be logged in as root (see each
parameter’s description below).
The syntax is as follows:
clic_stat [-p
perf_level
] [-d
display_level
] [-c
adapter_ID
]
[-n
nodename
] [-?]
Note that the second line in the above syntax is indented for readability purposes only.
When the command is typed there should not be any indentation.
The command parameters are as follows:
• -p enables/disables performance statistics gathering according to the value of
perf_level
, which is one of the following:
TCP Enables DLPI driver statistics when under the
TCP/UDP/IP stack.
HMP Enables Hyper Messaging Protocol (HMP)
statistics gathering.
FW Enables firmware statistics gathering.
RST Disables/resets the DLPI driver and HMP
statistics.
