IBSYSSTAT –

System Status On An Infiniband Address

Synopsis

ibsysstat [options] <dest lid | guid> [<op>]

Description

ibsysstat uses vendor mads to validate connectivity between IB nodes and obtain other information about the IB node. ibsysstat is run as client/server. Default is to run as client.

Options

Current supported operations:

ping \- verify connectivity to server (default)
host \- obtain host information from server
cpu \- obtain cpu information from server

-o, –oui: use specified OUI number to multiplex vendor mads
-S, –Server: start in server mode (do not return)

Addressing Flags

-G, –Guid The address specified is a Port GUID

-L, –Lid The address specified is a LID

-s, –sm_port <smlid> use ‘smlid’ as the target lid for SA queries.

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

-t, –timeout <timeout_ms> override the default timeout for the solicited mads.

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