NAME

       IBNETDISCOVER - discover InfiniBand topology

SYNOPSIS

       ibnetdiscover [options] [<topology-file>]

DESCRIPTION

       ibnetdiscover  performs  IB  subnet  discovery and outputs a human readable topology file.
       GUIDs,  node  types,  and  port  numbers  are  displayed  as  well  as   port   LIDs   and
       NodeDescriptions.   All nodes (and links) are displayed (full topology).  Optionally, this
       utility can be used to list the current  connected  nodes  by  nodetype.   The  output  is
       printed to standard output unless a topology file is specified.

OPTIONS

       -l, --list List of connected nodes

       -g,  --grouping  Show grouping.  Grouping correlates IB nodes by different vendor specific
       schemes.  It may also show the switch external ports correspondence.

       -H, --Hca_list List of connected CAs

       -S, --Switch_list List of connected switches

       -R, --Router_list List of connected routers

       -s, --show Show progress information during discovery.

       -p, --ports Obtain a ports report which  is  a  list  of  connected  ports  with  relevant
       information (like LID, portnum, GUID, width, speed, and NodeDescription).

       -m, --max_hops Report max hops discovered.

       --outstanding_smps, -o <val>

              Specify the number of outstanding SMP's which should be issued during the scan

              Default: 2

   Cache File flags
       --cache  <filename>  Cache the ibnetdiscover network data in the specified filename.  This
       cache may be used by other tools for later analysis.

       --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: sw = switches,
       ca = channel adapters, router = routers, port = port connections, lid = lids,  nodedesc  =
       node  descriptions.  Note that port, lid, and nodedesc are checked only for the node types
       that are specified (e.g. sw, ca, router).  If port is specified alongside lid or nodedesc,
       remote port lids and node descriptions will also be compared.

   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: /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
       -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.

FILES

   CONFIG FILE
       /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:

   TOPOLOGY FILE FORMAT
       The  topology  file  format is human readable and largely intuitive.  Most identifiers are
       given textual names like vendor ID (vendid), device ID (device ID), GUIDs of various types
       (sysimgguid,  caguid,  switchguid,  etc.).   PortGUIDs  are  shown in parentheses ().  For
       switches, this is shown on the switchguid line.  For CA and router ports, it is  shown  on
       the  connectivity  lines.  The IB node is identified followed by the number of ports and a
       quoted the node GUID.  On the right of  this  line  is  a  comment  (#)  followed  by  the
       NodeDescription  in  quotes.   If  the  node  is a switch, this line also contains whether
       switch port 0 is base or enhanced, and the LID  and  LMC  of  port  0.   Subsequent  lines
       pertaining  to  this  node  show the connectivity.   On the left is the port number of the
       current node.  On the right is the peer node (node at other end of link). It is identified
       in  quotes with nodetype followed by - followed by NodeGUID with the port number in square
       brackets.  Further on the right is a comment (#).  What follows the comment  is  dependent
       on the node type.  If it it a switch node, it is followed by the NodeDescription in quotes
       and the LID of the peer node.  If it is a CA or router node, it is followed by  the  local
       LID  and  LMC  and  then followed by the NodeDescription in quotes and the LID of the peer
       node.  The active link width and speed are then appended to the end of this output line.

       An example of this is:

       When grouping is used, IB nodes are organized into chassis which are numbered. Nodes which
       cannot  be  determined  to be in a chassis are displayed as "Non-Chassis Nodes".  External
       ports are also shown on the connectivity lines.
