6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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, P identifies the timeout option
(Prompt), and 2m indicates that two minutes will elapse before the next reboot in the sequence begins.
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. Click Tasks > Reboot > Create Reboot Sequence.
The “Create or Change Reboot Groups and Sequence” window displays (see Figure 14-11 on
page 14-20).
2. Select a fabric from the Select Fabric drop-down list.
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
displays, as shown in Figure 14-13.
