Fabric Configuration Wizard Overview

When the toolbox daemon is started, it looks for the /etc/toolbox/conf/fabric.conf file. If the file is missing, the daemon starts the fabric configuration wizard. The wizard is also started with the set config wizard command. If the toolbox daemon is running and the fabric configuration wizard is invoked, the daemon tries to discover the following parameters. If the daemon is not running or is unsuccessful, you must provide the parameters to the fabric configuration wizard. These are the parameters:

  • Fabric name

  • Fabric M_Key

  • Fabric password

  • Number of racks

For each rack:

  • Rack name

  • Rack family

  • Rack type

  • Number of switches

For the first switch:

  • Host name

  • Management controller IP address

  • Password

  • Subnet Manager state

For all subsequent switches:

  • Host name

  • Password

  • Subnet Manager state


Note -  The first fabric is considered the primary fabric, and the first switch of the first rack is considered to have the master Subnet Manager.
