Installing Basic BOFM
The use of Basic BOFM does not
require any installation because Basic BOFM capabilities are accessible
through the AMM software. However, there are prerequisite tasks that
must be satisfied before you can begin using Basic BOFM.
Session and credentials
The AMM displays an error page when another user attempts
to login with the same credentials.
Configuring Basic BOFM
Configuring Basic BOFM involves
a number of steps that include the creation of your configuration
file and applying the new configuration.
Creating a configuration file automatically
When using Basic BOFM for the
first time, you must create a configuration file in which you assign
virtual addresses to each slot in each chassis.
Creating a requirements report
It is best practice to create a requirements report before
you apply the BOFM configuration.
Editing the configuration file manually
After the initial generation of the configuration file,
you can edit it to make changes to accommodate the specific needs
of your environment.
Applying a new configuration
You can apply a new BOFM configuration
from the main Open Fabric Manager page on the AMM Web interface.
Retrieving the current configuration
You can retrieve the current BOFM configuration
by selecting Retrieve the Current Configuration on the main
Open Fabric Manager page.
