Rebooting Switches

3. Select a fabric from the Select Fabric drop-down list.

4. From within the Reboot Groups tab, click the reboot group that you want to reboot first; then click

the right arrow to add it to the Selected Switches list.

5. Repeat step 4 to add additional groups in the sequence that you want to reboot.

6. Optional: To rearrange the order of the reboot sequence, click Create/Change Sequence.

Select the reboot group you want to move; then, use the up or down arrows to place it in the

sequence you want.

7. Click Fastboot or Reboot to begin the sequenced reboot. A fastboot is the same as a reboot except

that it bypasses the power-on self test (POST), reducing boot time significantly.

You are prompted several times by Fabric Manager to ensure that you want to continue. The

prompts advise you of any potential problems in your fabric.

A message displays at the end of the reboot sequence, listing successful and unsuccessful reboots.
