Fabric OS Command Reference 271

fabricName

fabricName
Configures the fabric name parameter.
SYNOPSIS fabricname --set fabric_name
fabricname --clear
fabricname --show
fabricname --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure a name for the fabric.
With Virtual Fabrics it is not uncommon to have multiple fabrics in a single chassis. These logical fabrics
are identified by their Fabric ID. With the fabricName command, you can address a fabric by name. This
command provides an option for addressing fabrics by name. However, the fabric name does not replace
the FID; the functionality of the FID is unaffected by the fabric name.
NOTES The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
Fabric name support requires Fabric OS v7.0.0 firmware and will be lost on downgrade.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--set fabric_name
Sets the fabric name. The fabric name is a unique character string and can be up
to 128 characters long. You can use any character including spaces and
meta-characters. A fabric name that includes spaces must be included in double
quotation marks. Tabs are not permitted. By default, the fabric name is not
configured.
--clear
Clears the fabric name.
--show
Displays the fabric name. If a fabric name is not configured, an appropriate
message is displayed.
--help
Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To set and display the fabric name:
