# Intel® Omni-Path Fabric Suite Fabric Manager GUI Setup Wizard

Setup Wizard guides a user to set up the Fabric Manager GUI , including the areas described below.

- Hosts

- Events

- Preferences

## Hosts

To add a new subnet, click the button on the Hosts tab and provide the following attributes:

- Name – unique name of the subnet

- IP address or Host name – address used to connect with the FM, specifically the address used to connect to the FE

- Port number - the port number used to connect

To add a subnet, user name is not required. Even for the secure connection (when the Secure check box is checked), user name is not necessary.

For a secure connection, check the Secure check box and enter Key Store and Trust Store information. See the "SSL Key Creation for Fabric Manager GUI" appendix in the Intel® Omni-Path Fabric Suite Fabric Manager User Guide.

The Auto Connect checkbox must be selected to make the connection automatic.

## Events

In the course of exploring a fabric, the Fabric Manager may send an event message to the Fabric Manager GUI to notify the user about an incident occurring on the network. The Events tab lists the classification and type of each event, and allows the user to select the severity level and action to take when an event is received.

Events are defined with the following attributes:

- Event Class – Subnet Event, Miscellaneous Event, etc.

- Event Type – Lost Connection with FE, Inactive Port, etc.

- Severity – Informational, Warning, Error, Critical

- Action – Set notification with an email, display, or both

All events have predefined default values, so you need to change only those events of interest.

## User Preferences

On the Preferences tab, you define the following attributes:

Refresh Rate – the rate at which the UI is refreshed with the latest data from the Fabric Manager. This rate must not be less than the Fabric Manager sweep rate.

Time Window – the duration of the sliding time window over which the number of active nodes and ports:

- Reported a Critical, Error, or Warning event type

- Was classified as a Worst Node based on its performance

In the following figure, a time window of 1 hour is defined. As time transpires the data collected prior to the time window is removed as new information is reported.

Time Window

Indicators for these values can be found on the Home and Performance pages as shown in the highlighted panels below.

Metrics Collected in Time Window
Note: This value must be larger than 10 * FM sweep rate.

# Worst Nodes – number of the worst nodes to display.

Email recipients – used to list recipients of email notifications for the subnet. See Setting up Email Notification for more details.
