fdconfig Command - Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switch HTML Document Collection for Firmware Version 2.1

Subcommand Syntax	Description
`start-fabric-config from-current`	Initiates a new configuration based upon a currently used configuration.
`start-fabric-config empty`	Initiates a new original configuration.
`define-fabric-name name`	Defines a fabric (or configuration) name.
`define-element -name name -ip IP_address -type type -role role1 [-role role2]`	Defines an element of the fabric.
`redefine-element -name name [-ip IP_address\|-type type\|-role role1 [-role role2]]`	Modifies an element of the fabric.
`remove-element -name name`	Removes an element from the fabric.
`complete-fabric-config`	Finalizes the configuration.
`list-current-fabric-config`	Displays the current configuration.
`list-in-progress-fabric-config`	Displays the configuration being modified.
`abort`	Abruptly ends the configuration session. All modified configuration information is lost, and the active configuration remains unchanged.

where:

name is the host name of the element as configured by Oracle ILOM.
IP_address is the IP address of an element.
type is the identifier of the type of element:
- sw36 – Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36.
- sw36gw – Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switch.
role is the purpose of the element:
- gateway – The element acts as a gateway.
- spineSwitch – The element acts as a spine switch.
- leafSwitch – The element acts as a leaf switch.
- unknown – The role of the element is unknown.

Description

This hardware command configures 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 are switch chips with these roles:

gateway
spine switch
leaf switch

By default, Fabric Directors run in nonmaster mode. Only when a fabric element's Subnet Manager becomes the master Subnet Manager, does the fabric element's corresponding Fabric Director become the master Fabric Director.

This table describes each of the columns of the output.

Column Heading	Description
`Name`	Host name of the fabric element as configured by Oracle ILOM.
`IP Addr`	The IP address of the fabric element.
`Type`	The platform of the fabric element: `sw36` – Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 `sw36gw` – Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switch
`Role(s)`	The role of the fabric element: gateway spine switch leaf switch unknown
`isMaster`	Identifies elements which are not the master Fabric Director.
`Fabricname`	Name of the fabric or configuration.

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

Options

This table describes the options to the fdconfig command and their purposes.

Option	Purpose
`-name`	Specifies the name of the fabric or element.
`-ip`	Specifies the IP address of the fabric element.
`-type`	Specifies the type of element.
`-role`	Specifies the role of the element.
`-h`	Provides help.

Example

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

Note - The output for your InfiniBand fabric will differ from that in the example.

FabMan@gateway_name->fdconfig list-current-fabric-config
Name            IP Addr           Type    Role(s)          isMaster  Fabricname
--------------  ----------------  ------  ---------------  --------  ----------
primary         123.45.67.89      sw36gw  gateway                    test
secondary       123.45.67.90      sw36    leafSwitch       no        test
