14.6.1 Discover the InfiniBand Network Topology in a Multirack Configuration

To discover the InfiniBand network topology and build a topology file which is used
by the OpenSM Subnet Manager, run the following command on the command-line
interface (CLI) of the spine switch:
# ibnetdiscover
The output is displayed, as in the following example:
The topology file is used by InfiniBand commands to scan the InfiniBand fabric and
validate the connectivity as described in the topology file, and to report errors as
indicated by the port counters.

14.6.2 Perform Diagnostics on the InfiniBand Fabric in a Multirack Configuration

To perform a collection of tests on the InfiniBand fabric and generate several files that
contain parameters and aspects of the InfiniBand fabric, run the following command
on the command-line interface (CLI) of the spine switch:
# ibdiagnet
In the following example, the ibdiagnet command is minimized to determine which
links are underperforming:
# ibdiagnet -lw 4x -ls 10 -skip all
