ibnetdiscover − discover InfiniBand topology
ibnetdiscover [−d(ebug)] [−e(rr_show)] [−v(erbose)] [−s(how)] [−l(ist)] [−g(rouping)] [−H(ca_list)] [−S(witch_list)] [−R(outer_list)] [−C ca_name] [−P ca_port] [−t(imeout) timeout_ms] [−V(ersion)] [−-node-name-map <node-name-map>] [−p(orts)] [−h(elp)] [<topology-file>]
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.
−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 more information
−−node−name−map <node-name-map>
Specify a node name map. The node name map file maps GUIDs to more user friendly names. See file format below.
−p, −−ports
Obtain a ports report which is a list of connected ports with relevant information (like LID, portnum, GUID, width, speed, and NodeDescription).
Most OpenIB diagnostics take the following common flags. The exact list of supported flags per utility can be found in the usage message and can be shown using the util_name -h syntax.
# 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 show the usage message
−v
increase the application verbosity level.
May be used several times (-vv or -v -v -v)
−V show the version info.
# Addressing flags
−D use
directed path address arguments. The path
is a comma separated list of out ports.
Examples:
"0" # self port
"0,1,2,1,4" # out via port 1, then out via port 2,
...
−G use
GUID address argument. In most cases, it is the Port GUID.
Example:
"0x08f1040023"
−s <smlid> use ’smlid’ as the target lid for SM/SA queries.
# Other common flags:
−C <ca_name> use the specified ca_name.
−P <ca_port> use the specified ca_port.
−t <timeout_ms> override the default timeout for the solicited mads.
Multiple CA/Multiple Port Support
When no IB device or port is specified, the port to use is selected 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 user request is attempted to be fulfilled, and will fail if it is not possible.
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.

When grouping is used, IB nodes are organized into chasses 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.
The node name
map is used to specify user friendly names for nodes in the
output. GUIDs are used to perform the lookup.
Generically:
# comment
<guid> "<name>"
Example:
# IB1
# Line cards
