Automatic fabric provisioning system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a processing system;
• and
• a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide an automatic fabric provisioning engine that is configured, automatically and without user intervention, to:
• transmit, to each of at least one first uplink switch device via a plurality of first uplinks and to each of at least one second uplink switch device via a plurality of second uplinks, a respective fabric login communication;
• receive, from each of the at least one first uplink switch devices via the plurality of first uplinks, a respective first fabric login accept communication that identifies a first fabric associated with that first uplink switch device and, in response, automatically associate each one of the plurality of first uplinks with the first fabric via a creation of a first virtual fabric;
• and
• receive, from each of the at least one second uplink switch devices via the plurality of second uplinks, a second respective fabric login accept communication that identifies a second fabric associated with that second uplink switch device and, in response, automatically associate each one of the plurality of second uplinks with the second fabric via a creation of a second virtual fabric.

A method for automatically provisioning fabrics, comprising:

• transmitting, by a gateway device to each of at least one first uplink switch device via a plurality of first uplinks and to each of at least one second uplink switch device via a plurality of second uplinks, a respective fabric login communication automatically and without user intervention;
• receiving, by the gateway device automatically and without user intervention and from each of the at least one first uplink switch devices via the plurality of first uplinks, a respective first fabric login accept communication that identifies a first fabric associated with that first uplink switch device and, in response, associating each one of the plurality of first uplinks with the first fabric via a first virtual fabric created at the gateway device automatically and without user intervention;
• and
• receiving, by the gateway device automatically and without user intervention and from each of the at least one second uplink switch devices via the plurality of second uplinks, a second respective fabric login accept communication that identifies a second fabric associated with that second uplink switch device and, in response, associating each one of the plurality of second uplinks with the second fabric via a first virtual fabric created at the gateway device automatically and without user intervention.
