createfabric subcommand [-h]
This hardware command has subcommands that determine its functionality. This table describes the subcommands and provides their syntax.
|
where:
hostname is the host name of the element.
IP_address is the IP address for the element recognized by Oracle ILOM or IPoIB.
This hardware command correlates the fully qualified domain names, the Oracle ILOM IP address, and redundant IP address of the fabric elements in the InfiniBand fabric into a fabric configuration file. Fabric elements are typically management controllers hosting Subnet Manager instances.
There are two configuration files, the active configuration and the modified configuration. When creating a configuration file, you must initiate the configuration session with the createfabric start command. During the session, you can create a modified copy of the active configuration or an entirely new configuration. To end the session, you must use the createfabric complete command to make the modified configuration the active configuration. Once committed, the active configuration is distributed to all Subnet Managers in the InfiniBand fabric where the management controller's IP addresses are listed in the Subnet Manager nodes (smnodes) list.
Like the smnodes list, the fabric configuration file must exist in every management controller filesystem. The file contains a list of Oracle ILOM IP addresses and redundant IP addresses of all active management controllers hosting a Subnet Manager in your fabric. The file should have an entry for every Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 and Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switch that runs a Subnet Manager in your InfiniBand fabric.
Note - If the Subnet Manager nodes of your InfiniBand fabric ever change (disabled, added, and so on), you must update all copies of the fabric configuration file.
This table describes each of the columns of the output of the createfabric list active and createfabric list modified commands.

The createfabric command is available from the /SYS/Fabric_Mgmt Linux shell target of the Oracle ILOM CLI interface.
This table describes the options to the createfabric command and their purposes.

This example shows how to display the current fabric configuration file with the createfabric command.
