Description

This hardware command is used to configure a list of InfiniBand devices expected to be in the fabric. The Fabric Director node list file is used by the Fabric Directors to compile fabric MIBs that describe the InfiniBand fabric. For the file, InfiniBand devices are referred to as elements, and each internal element hosts a Fabric Director. Elements can be:

internal – switches
external – HCAs and TCAs
gateway – BridgeX chips

Similar to Subnet Managers, there can only be one active master Fabric Director for a given InfiniBand fabric.

The fdconfig command is available from the /SYS/Fabric_Mgmt Linux shell targets of the Oracle ILOM CLI interface.

Note - At this time, the fdconfig command is available to only the root user.

Example

This example shows how to list the current fabric configuration with the fdconfig command.
