2–FastFabric TUI Menu
FastFabric TUI Menu Overview
2-2 IB0054607-01 A
If more than one item is selected, the items will be performed in the order shown
in the menu. This is the typical order desired during fabric setup. If it's desired to
perform items in a different order, select a single item and enter P to perform it by
itself. Then repeat for the next item to be performed. An opportunity will be
presented after each item is selected to abort as follows:
Hit any key to continue (or ESC to abort)...
If ESC is pressed, the sequence of operations will be aborted and return to the
previous menu. Any other key will result in the next selected menu item being
performed. This prompt is also shown after the last selected item completes
permitting an opportunity to review the results before the screen is cleared to
display the menu.
At the top of each FastFabric menu, the file listing the components to operate on
is shown. For example:
Host List: /etc/sysconfig/iba/hosts
On each FastFabric menu, item 0 will permit a different file to be selected and will
permit the editing of the file (using the editor selected by the EDITOR environment
variable). In addition it will also permit review and editing of the fastfabric.conf file.
The fastfabric.conf file guides the overall configuration of FastFabric and
describes cluster specific attributes of how FastFabric will operate. It is discussed
in greater detail in Appendix A.
During the execution of each menu selection, the actual FastFabric command line
tool being used will be shown. This can be used as an educational aid to learn the
command line tools.
