NAME

       ib_acme - test and configuration utility for the IB ACM

SYNOPSIS

       ib_acme [-f addr_format] [-s src_addr] -d dest_addr [-v] [-c] [-P] [-S svc_addr] [-C repetitions]
       ib_acme [-A [addr_file]] [-O [opt_file]] [-D dest_dir] [-V]

DESCRIPTION

       ib_acme provides assistance configuring and testing the ibacm service.  The first usage of
       the service will test that the ibacm is running and operating correctly.  The second usage
       model will automatically create address and configuration files for the ibacm service.

OPTIONS

       -f addr_format
              Specifies  the  format  of  the  src_addr  and dest_addr parameters.  Valid address
              formats are: 'i' ip address, 'n' host name, 'l' lid, 'g' gid, and 'u'  unspecified.
              If  the  -f  option  is omitted, an unspecified address format is assumed.  ib_acme
              will use getaddrinfo or other mechanisms to  determine  which  format  the  address
              uses.

       -s src_addr
              Specifies  the local source address of the path to resolve.  The source address can
              be an IP address, system network name, or LID,  as  indicated  by  the  addr_format
              option.

       -d dest_addr
              Specifies  the destination address of the path to resolve.  The destination address
              can be an IP address, system network name, or LID, as indicated by the  addr_format
              option.

       -v     Indicates  that the resolved path information should be verified with the active IB
              SA.  Use of the -v option provides a sanity check that resolved path information is
              usable given the current cluster configuration.

       -c     Instructs  the  ACM  service to only returned information that currently resides in
              its local cache.

       -P     Queries performance data from the destination service

       -S svc_addr
              address of ACM service, default: local service

       -C repetitions
              number of repetitions to perform resolution.  Used to measure  performance  of  ACM
              cache lookups.  Defaults to 1.

       -A [addr_file]
              With   this  option,  the  ib_acme  utility  automatically  generates  the  address
              configuration file ibacm_addr.cfg.  The generated file  is  constructed  using  the
              system host name.

       -O [opt_file]
              With   this   option,  the  ib_acme  utility  automatically  generates  the  option
              configuration file ibacm_opts.cfg.  The generated file is currently generated using
              static information.

       -D dest_dir
              Specify the destination directory for the output files.

       -V     Enables  verbose output.  When combined with -A or -O options, ib_acme will display
              additional  details,  such  as  generated  address   information   saved   to   the
              ibacm_addr.cfg file.

NOTES

       The  ib_acme  utility  performs  two  main  functions.   With  the  -A  and -O options, it
       automatically generates address or options configuration files.  The generated  files  are
       text  based  and  may  be  edited.   These options are intended to provide a simple way to
       configure address and option information on all nodes on a cluster.

       The other function of the ib_acme utility is to test the ibacm service, including  helping
       to verify that the service is usable given the current cluster configuration.  The ib_acme
       utility can resolve IP addresses, network names, or IB LIDs into a path  record.   It  can
       then compare that path record against one obtained by the SA.  When used to test the ibacm
       service, the ib_acme utility has the side effect of loading the ibacm caches.

       Multiple, numerical destinations can be specified by adding brackets [] to the  end  of  a
       base destination name or address.  Users may specify a list of numerical ranges inside the
       brackets using the following example as a guide: node[1-3,5,7-8].   This  will  result  in
       testing node1, node2, node3, node5, node7, and node8.
