NAME

       ibtracert - trace InfiniBand path

SYNOPSIS

       ibtracert [options] [<lid|guid> [<startlid> [<endlid>]]]

DESCRIPTION

       ibtracert uses SMPs to trace the path from a source GID/LID to a destination GID/LID. Each
       hop along the path is displayed until the  destination  is  reached  or  a  hop  does  not
       respond.  By  using  the -m option, multicast path tracing can be performed between source
       and destination nodes.

OPTIONS

       -n, --no_info
              simple format; don't show additional information

       -m     show the multicast trace of the specified mlid

       -f, --force
              force route to destination port

   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.

       --ports-file <ports-file>   Specify a ports file.
          This file contains multiple source  and  destination  lid  or  guid  pairs.  See  FILES
          section.

   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.

       --node-name-map <node-name-map> Specify a node name map.
          This file maps GUIDs to more user friendly names.  See FILES section.

       -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.

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

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.

   PORTS FILE FORMAT
       The  ports file can be used to specify multiple source and destination pairs.  They can be
       lids or guids.  If guids, use the -G option to indicate that.
