9000 series chassis, slot
0
is always an alias for the presently active management
card for the chassis. For the remainder of slot usages in the chassis, the
chassisQuery
command can be executed against a given chassis to identify
which slots have management, EVIC or FVIC cards.
NOTE: For any operation, care should be taken that a given chassis is listed only
once with all relevant slots as part of that single specification. This is
important so that parallel operations do not cause conflicting concurrent
operations against a given chassis.

Switch List Files
The
/etc/sysconfig/iba/ibnodes
file is used to specify the
externally-managed SilverStorm IB switches that Fast Fabric will operate against
for many operations.
If desired alternate file names may be specified in
fastfabric.conf
, via
environment variables or on the command line. Refer to the section “Selection of
Switches” on page 5-7 for more information.
Below is a sample switch list file:
# this is a comment
0x00066a00d9000138,i9k138# Node GUID with desired Name
0x00066a00d9000139,i9k139# Node GUID with desired Name
include /etc/sysconfig/iba/moreswitches# included file
Each line of the switch list file may specify a single switch, a comment or another
switch list file to include.
Switches can be specified by node GUID optionally followed by a coma and the IB
Node Description (i.e., the name) to be assigned to the switch. The GUID will be
used to select the switch and on firmware update operations, the node description
will be written to the switch such that other Fast fabric tools (such as
saquery
and
iba_report
) can provide a more easily readable name for the switch.
Files to be included may be specified via an
include
directive followed by a file
name. File names specified should generally be absolute path names. If relative
path names are used, they will be searched for within the current directory then
/etc/sysconfig/iba
.
Comments may be placed on any line. By using a
#
to precede the comment. On
lines with chassis or include directives, the
#
must be white-space separated from
any preceding GUID, name or included file name.
It is recommended that a unique node description be specified for each switch. This
name should follow typical naming rules and use the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and
underscore. No spaces are allowed in the node description. Additionally, names
should not start with a digit.
