Add a Switch to the Fabric Configuration (Toolbox CLI)

1. In the Toolbox CLI, add a switch to the fabric configuration.

   [toolbox-cli] add switch name=switch_name ip=IP_address rack='rack_name' fabric='fabric_name' sm=state

   where:

   • switch_name is the host name of the switch.

   • IP_address is the IP address of the management controller of the switch.

   • rack_name is the name of the rack where the switch is located.

   • fabric_name is the name of the fabric where the switch is added.

   • state is the state of the Subnet Manager on that switch, enabled or disabled.

   For example, to add a switch with host name scao04sw-iba0, IP address 10.133.12.155, in rack scao04-rack and fabric scao04-fabric with the Subnet Manager enabled, type:

   [toolbox-cli] add switch name=scao04sw-iba0 ip=10.133.12.155 rack='scao04-rack' fabric='scao04-fabric' sm=enabled
   'scao04sw-iba0' root password: password
   Updating fabric conf file: /etc/toolbox/conf/fabric.conf...  [OK]
   Added  'scao04sw-iba0' (10.133.12.155) to fabric: 'scao04-fabric', rack: 'scao04-rack'
   [toolbox-cli]

2. Restart the toolbox daemon.
