5. Optional: Type a prefix for the reboot group name in the Reboot Group Name field. 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: Click one of the following buttons in the What to do if timeout occurs? field:
• 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. Type the amount of time that must elapse before the next reboot in the sequence begins in the
Delay After Fabric Stabilization field.
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
Reboot sw4900 [1m,C,2m]
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.
