Creating single-switch reboot groups
Create a single-switch reboot group for any switch in your fabric that is not assigned to a multiswitch
reboot group, if you want to include it in a reboot sequence.
To create a single-switch reboot group:
1. Select Tools > Reboot > Create Reboot Sequence.
The Create or change reboot groups and sequence window opens (see Figure 98 on page 161).
2. Select a fabric from the Select Fabric menu.
3. Select a switch from the list of Unassigned Switches. To create more than one single-switch reboot
group, select multiple switches. Each switch is made into its own single-switch reboot group.
4. Click the Create single switch groups button. The Create Single Switch Reboot Groups dialog box
opens (Figure 100).

5. Optional: In the Name of the Reboot Group field, enter a name for the reboot group. If you do not
enter a name for the reboot group, a default name is assigned in the Reboot SwitchName format,
where SwitchName is the name of the switch. You must provide a name for each single-switch reboot
group you create. If a name is not selected, the single-switch reboot groups are named for you (Reboot
SwitchName).
6. In the Fabric Stabilization Timeout field, specify the amount of time for the fabric to stabilize.
7. Optional: In the What to do if timeout occurs? field, select one of the following buttons (Prompt is the
default selection):
• Prompt: Provides a prompt whenever a timeout occurs that asks whether you want to continue.
• Continue: Continues the reboot sequence when a timeout occurs.
• Abort: Terminates the reboot sequence when a timeout occurs.
8. In the Delay After Fabric Stabilization field, enter the amount of time that must elapse before the next
reboot in the sequence begins.
Fabric Manager considers a fabric stable when all WWNs appear in the fabricShow command
output.
9. Click OK.
Your reboot group is displayed in the Reboot Groups tree.
The reboot groups listed in the Reboot Groups tree include bracketed text displayed next to the name of
the reboot group. The bracketed text represents the duration of the fabric stabilization timeout, the
timeout option (see step 7), and the duration of the delay after fabric stabilization time that you
configured. For example:
In this example, 1m indicates a stabilization timeout of one minute, P identifies the timeout option (see
step 7), and 2m indicates that two minutes elapse before the next reboot in the sequence begins.
