NAME

       IBLINKINFO - report link info for all links in the fabric

SYNOPSIS

       iblinkinfo <options>

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       --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: 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.

       --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: /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.

EXIT STATUS

       0 on success, -1 on failure to scan the fabric, 1 if check mode is used and inconsistencies are found.

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:
