Section 4
Fast Fabric TUI Menu
Fast Fabric is easiest to use from the textual user interface (TUI) menu system.
The menu system provides a way to perform all common tasks and presents
common options. Additional less common options are available directly via the
Command Line Tools documented in the next section.
In the sections that follow, the menu system will be discussed. The majority of menu
items directly invoke various Fast Fabric command tools. As such the section on
each menu item will indicate what command tool it invokes and a summary of the
operation performed. For further details about the given command tool, consult the
relevant section within “Basic Setup and Administration Tools” on page 5-11.
Some of the menu items are only applicable when Linux is being used. They will
be marked with
(Linux)
. Similarly some of the menu items are only applicable when
QuickSilver Linux IB software is being used on the hosts. Those will be marked
with
(Host)
. All menu items which are applicable only when SilverStorm IB Switches
or Chassis are being used will be marked with
(Switch)
. All remaining menu items
are generally applicable to all environments and will be marked with
(All)
.
NOTE:
Some of the Linux menu items may be applicable to other Unix-like
operating systems if it is desired to enable the use of non-IB specific Fast
Fabric tools (such as cmdall) against the given hosts.
The main menu can be invoked using the iba_config command. The main menu
is as follows:
SilverStorm Technologies Inc. InfiniBand 4.1.1.0.15 Software
1) Show Installed Software
2) Reconfigure IP over IB
3) Reconfigure Driver Autostart
4) Update HCA Firmware
5) Generate Supporting Information for Problem Report
6) Host Setup via Fast Fabric
7) Host Admin via Fast Fabric
8) Chassis Admin via Fast Fabric
9) Externally Managed Switch Admin via Fast Fabric
a) Uninstall Software
X) Exit
In the above menu, items 6-9 represent the Fast Fabric menus. The operation of
this menu is the same as the INSTALL and iba_config functions documented in the
