Starting Vswitches

Vswitches start automatically when the VM Host system is started. You can start the vswitch manually using the —b option to the hpvmnet command. For example, the following command starts the vswitch named clan1:

# hpvmnet -S clan1 -b

You must restart a vswitch after the following events:

The MAC address corresponding to the LAN number being used by the virtual switch is changed on the VM Host (either by swapping the network adapter associated with the vswitch or associating the vswitch with a different network adapter).
The way the network adapter accepts and passes on packets to the next network layer is changed. This can occur as a result of the using the ifconfig or lanadmin command to set CKO/NOCKO on or off.
