Intel® Omni-Path Fabric Suite Fabric Manager GUI provides an intuitive, scalable dashboard and set of analysis tools for graphically monitoring fabric status and configuration. It is a user-friendly alternative to traditional command-line tools for day-to-day monitoring of fabric health.
For details about the other documents for the Intel® Omni-Path product line, refer to Intel Omni-Path Documentation Library of this document.
Fabric Manager GUI can be run on a Linux* or Windows* desktop/laptop system with TCP/IP connectivity to the Intel® Omni-Path Fabric Suite Fabric Manager. Network connectivity to the Fabric Executive (FE) component of the Fabric Manager allows continuous, remote, “out of band” monitoring. If configured with alternate FE connection information, the Fabric Manager GUI automatically fails over to an alternative FE if the connection to the original is lost.
Fabric Manager GUI feature highlights include:
The ability to monitor multiple fabric “subnets” simultaneously
A dashboard summary of the state of the connected fabric
An interactive way to visualize the fabric topology (see the following figure)
A Pin Board that allows a user-selected set of GUI indicators to remain visible at all times
Reliable “out-of-band” connectivity to the fabric over both secured and non-secured links
Email and other alerts if user-selected events occur within the fabric
Connectivity to the Fabric Manager’s console for access to the rich set of Intel® Omni-Path Fabric Suite FastFabric command-line tools
Connectivity to the Fabric Manager’s log file for troubleshooting purposes
The ability to modify the configuration of the Fabric Manager
