Show Status of Chassis IB Ports

(Switch) This will run the showallports -C command to allow the state and symbol
error counts of all chassis ports to be manually reviewed.
(All) Instead it is recommended to run:
iba_report -i 10 -o errors -o slowlinks
on the IB Management node. This will check all the ports in the fabric for any links
which have high error rates or are running at a lower speed than expected. Any
such identified links should be diagnosed and corrected.
4-12
The chassis must be running firmware version 4.0.0.4.3 or later to perform
this function. If the chassis is not up to this level, it will need to be manually
updated via the chassis GUI. See the SilverStorm 9000 Users Guide for
more information.
Consult the relevant chassis firmware release notes to ensure any
prerequisites for the upgrade to the new firmware level have been met
prior to performing the upgrade via Fast Fabric.
