Figure 14-13 Create Single Switch Reboot Groups
5. Optional: In the Reboot Group Name field, type a prefix for the reboot group name. If you do not
enter a prefix for the reboot group, a default name of “Reboot SwitchName”, where SwitchName is
the name of the switch. You must provide a prefix for each single-switch reboot group you create.
6. In the Fabric Stabilization Timeout field, specify the amount of time allowed for the fabric to
stabilize before a timeout occurs.
7. Optional: In the “What to do if timeout occurs?” field, click one of the following buttons:
• Prompt: Provides a prompt whenever a timeout occurs that asks if you want to continue.
• Continue: Continues the reboot sequence when a timeout occurs.
• Abort: Terminates the reboot sequence when a timeout occurs.
The default selection is Prompt.
8. In the Delay After Fabric Stabilization field, type 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 automatically 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 6), and the duration of the delay after fabric stabilization time that you
configured.
Example
In this example, 1m indicates a stabilization timeout of one minute, C identifies the timeout option
(Continue), and 2m indicates that two minutes will elapse before the next reboot in the sequence begins.
