SMPDUMP –

Dump Infiniband Subnet Management Attributes

Synopsis

smpdump [options] <dlid|dr_path> <attribute> [attribute_modifier]

Description

smpdump is a general purpose SMP utility which gets SM attributes from a specified SMA. The result is dumped in hex by default.

Options

dlid|drpath: LID or DR path to SMA
attribute: IBA attribute ID for SM attribute
attribute_modifier: IBA modifier for SM attribute
-s, –string: Print strings in packet if possible

Addressing Flags

-D, –Direct The address specified is a directed route

Examples:
 [options] -D [options] "0" # self port
 [options] -D [options] "0,1,2,1,4" # out via port 1, then 2, ...
 (Note the second number in the path specified must match the port being
 used. This can be specified using the port selection flag '-P' or the
 port found through the automatic selection process.)

-L, –Lid The address specified is a LID

Port Selection flags

-C, –Ca <ca_name> use the specified ca_name.

-P, –Port <ca_port> use the specified ca_port.

Local port Selection

Multiple port/Multiple CA support: when no IB device or port is specified (see the "local umad parameters" below), the libibumad library selects the port to use by the following criteria:

1.

the first port that is ACTIVE.

2.

if not found, the first port that is UP (physical link up).

If a port and/or CA name is specified, the libibumad library attempts to fulfill the user request, and will fail if it is not possible.

For example:

ibaddr # use the first port (criteria #1 above)
ibaddr -C mthca1 # pick the best port from "mthca1" only.
ibaddr -P 2 # use the second (active/up) port from the first available IB device.
ibaddr -C mthca0 -P 2 # use the specified port only.

Debugging flags

-d

raise the IB debugging level. May be used several times (-ddd or -d -d -d).

-e

show send and receive errors (timeouts and others)

-h, –help show the usage message

-v, –verbose

increase the application verbosity level. May be used several times (-vv or -v -v -v)

-V, –version show the version info.

Configuration flags

–config, -z <config_file> Specify alternate config file. Default: /etc/infiniband-diags/ibdiag.conf
