IBLINKINFO(8) OpenIB Diagnostics IBLINKINFO(8)
IBLINKINFO - report link info for all links in the fabric
iblinkinfo <options>
iblinkinfo reports link info for each port in an IB fabric, node
by node. Optionally, iblinkinfo can do partial scans and limit
its output to parts of a fabric.
--down, -d Print only nodes which have a port in the "Down" state.
--line, -l Print all information for each link on one line.
Default is to print a header with the node information and then a
list for each port (useful for grep'ing output).
--additional, -p Print additional port settings
(<LifeTime>,<HoqLife>,<VLStallCount>)
--switches-only Show only switches in output.
--cas-only Show only CAs in output.
Partial Scan flags
The node to start a partial scan can be specified with the
following addresses.
--port-guid, -G <port_guid> Specify a port_guid
-D, --Direct <dr_path> The address specified is a directed
route
Examples:
-D "0" # self port
-D "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.)
Note: For switches results are printed for all ports not just
switch port 0.
--switch, -S <port_guid> same as "-G". (provided only for backward
compatibility)
How much of the scan to be printed can be controlled with the
following.
--all, -a Print all nodes found in a partial fabric scan.
Normally a partial fabric scan will return only the node
specified. This option will print the other nodes found as well.
--hops, -n <hops> Specify the number of hops away from a specified
node to scan. This is useful to expand a partial fabric scan
beyond the node specified.
Cache File flags
--load-cache <filename> Load and use the cached ibnetdiscover data
stored in the specified filename. May be useful for outputting
and learning about other fabrics or a previous state of a fabric.
--diff <filename> Load cached ibnetdiscover data and do a diff
comparison to the current network or another cache. A special
diff output for ibnetdiscover output will be displayed showing
differences between the old and current fabric. By default, the
following are compared for differences: switches, channel
adapters, routers, and port connections.
--diffcheck <key(s)> Specify what diff checks should be done in
the --diff option above. Comma separate multiple diff check
key(s). The available diff checks are: port = port connections,
state = port state, lid = lids, nodedesc = node descriptions.
Note that port, lid, and nodedesc are checked only for the node
types that are specified (e.g. switches-only, cas-only). If port
is specified alongside lid or nodedesc, remote port lids and node
descriptions will also be compared.
--filterdownports <filename> Filter downports indicated in a
ibnetdiscover cache. If a port was previously indicated as down
in the specified cache, and is still down, do not output it in the
resulting output. This option may be particularly useful for
environments where switches are not fully populated, thus much of
the default iblinkinfo info is considered useless. See
ibnetdiscover for information on caching ibnetdiscover output.
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.
Configuration flags
--config, -z <config_file> Specify alternate config file.
Default:
/ssd11/FOSS/rdma-core/build/etc/infiniband-diags/ibdiag.conf
--outstanding_smps, -o <val>
Specify the number of outstanding SMP's which should be
issued during the scan
Default: 2
--node-name-map <node-name-map> Specify a node name map.
This file maps GUIDs to more user friendly names. See FILES
section.
-t, --timeout <timeout_ms> override the default timeout for the
solicited mads.
-y, --m_key <key>
use the specified M_key for requests. If non-numeric value
(like 'x') is specified then a value will be prompted for.
Debugging flags
-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.
0 on success, -1 on failure to scan the fabric, 1 if check mode is
used and inconsistencies are found.
CONFIG FILE
/ssd11/FOSS/rdma-core/build/etc/infiniband-diags/ibdiag.conf
A global config file is provided to set some of the common options
for all tools. See supplied config file for details.
NODE NAME MAP FILE FORMAT
The node name map is used to specify user friendly names for nodes
in the output. GUIDs are used to perform the lookup.
This functionality is provided by the opensm-libs package. See
opensm(8) for the file location for your installation.
Generically:

<guid> "<name>"
Example:
# IB1
