B – Fast Fabric Configuration Files
Port List Files
For externally-managed switches, the node GUID can be found on a label on the
bottom of the switch. Alternately the node GUIDs for switches in the fabric can be
found use a command such as:
saquery -t sw -o nodeguid

Port List Files
The /etc/sysconfig/iba/ports file is used to specify the local HCA ports (i.e.,
subnets) that Fast Fabric will use for fabric health analysis.
If desired, alternate filenames may be specified in fastfabric.conf, via
environment variables or on the command line. Refer to the section "Selection of
local Ports (subnets)" on page 5-9 for more information.
Below is a sample port list file:
# this is a comment
1:1# first port on 1st HCA
1:2# second port on 1st HCA
2:1# first port on 2nd HCA
3:0# first active port on 3rd HCA
include /etc/sysconfig/iba/ports-plain2# included file
Each line of the port list file may specify a single port, a comment or another port
list file to include.
Ports are specified as hca:port. No spaces are permitted. The first HCA is 1
and the first port is 1. The special value 0 for HCA or port has special meaning.
The allowed formats are:
0:0 = 1st active port in system
0:y = port y within system
x:0 = 1st active port on HCA x
x:y = HCA x, port y
Files to be included may be specified via an include directive followed by a file
name. File names specified should generally be absolute path names. If relative
path names are used, they will be searched for within the current directory then
/etc/sysconfig/iba.
B-12
The above command will report all switch node GUIDs, including those
of internally-managed chassis such as the SilverStorm 9120. GUIDs for
internally-managed chassis cannot be specified for use in the ibnodes
file.
