2 FastFabric TUI Menu
FastFabric TUI Menu Overview
FastFabric 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, using the
Command Line Tools, documented in the QLogic FastFabric Command Line
Interface Reference Guide.
In the sections that follow, the menu system will be discussed. The majority of
menu items directly invoke various FastFabric 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 in the FastFabric Command Line Interface
Reference Guide.
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 QLogic OFED+, the QLogicIB packaging of OFED software, is being used
on the hosts and will be marked with (Host). All menu items which are applicable
only when QLogic InfiniBand 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)
.
TUI Menu Usage
The TUI menus are set up for ease of use. The submenus typically present
operations in the typical order they would be used during an installation. Pressing
the keys corresponding to menu items (0-9, a-d) will toggle the
Skip/Perform
selection for the given item. More than one item may be selected. Once the
desired set of items have been selected, enter P. To unselect all items, enter N.
Entering X or pressing ESC will exit this menu and return to the Main Menu.
NOTE:
Some of the Linux menu items may be applicable to other Unix-like
operating systems.These may be used to enable the use of non-InfiniBand
specific FastFabric tools (such as
cmdall) against the given hosts.
