vendstat − query InfiniBand vendor specific functions
vendstat [−d(ebug)] [−G(uid)] [−N] [−w] [−C ca_name] [−P ca_port] [−t(imeout) timeout_ms] [−V(ersion)] [−h(elp)] <lid|guid>
vendstat uses vendor specific MADs to access beyond the IB spec vendor specific functionality. Currently, there is support only for Mellanox InfiniSwitch-III (IS3).
−N |
show IS3 general information. |
|||
−w |
show IS3 port xmit wait counters. |
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
−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.
vendstat -N 6 # read IS3 general information
vendstat -w 6 # read IS3 port xmit wait counters
