NAME

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
