Omni-Path Fabric Manager GUI
Fabric Manager GUI
[5]
provides a set of analysis tools for graphically monitoring fabric status and managing
fabric health. This package is open source and can be run on a Linux or Windows system with TCP/IP
connectivity to the Fabric Manager. To use the Fabric Manager GUI enable the following switch settings
and ensure the opafm.xml files are identical on all switches.
 ismChassisSetFmEnabled
 smPmStart (SM is enabled, PM is enabled, FE is enabled)
When FMGUI is launched for the first time, a short setup wizard will be used to configure the GUI.
3.2.1 Overview of Fabric Manager GUI
Fabric Manager GUI can be used to review subnet performance, topology and manage the fabric on the
switches.
 Subnet Summary- shows the master SM, master SM uptime, standby SM information, and Inter-
switch links information.
o Provides total number of active nodes, switches, and ports not being used in the fabric
o Shows switch status, Host Fabric interface status and health trend in graphical form.
 Subnet Performance – shows the bandwidth and packet rate information on all the nodes, current
traffic on the fabric, the top 10 worst performing nodes, etc.
 Fabric topology gives a snapshot of how the nodes are connected to the switches. Double clicking
on a particular node or switch gives detailed device information and routing information for that
device. Detailed information for FM GUI can be accessed from this link.
