Managing HyperFabric
Starting HyperFabric
Chapter 5
96
The clic_start -? command can be issued to display the online help for clic_start,
or look at the clic_start (1m) man page by issuing the man clic_start command.
If HyperFabric is already running, you will receive an informational (FYI) message
telling you so. Your reaction to this message depends on the situation:
• If you have simply forgotten (or did not know) that HyperFabric was already
running, you do not have to do anything.
• If you have changed the HyperFabric configuration with the clic_init command or
SMH, you must stop HyperFabric (by running the clic_shutdown command or
using SMH) and then start HyperFabric (by running the clic_start command or
using SMH). See either “Using the clic_shutdown Command” on page 110 or “Using
SMH” on page 111, whichever is appropriate.
Using SMH
To use SMH to start HyperFabric on an HP 9000 system running HP-UX 11i v3, follow
these steps:
Step 1. Start SMH.
Step 2. Select the “Networking and Communications” area.
Step 3. Select “HyperFabric.”
Step 4. Pull down the “Actions” menu and select Start HyperFabric.
When HyperFabric starts, a confirmation message displays. Also, the status
“HyperFabric: Running” is displayed above the adapter configuration area of the screen.
Step 5. Exit SMH.
