The above examples were all performed with a single report, the brnodes (Brief
Nodes) report. However this is just one of the many topology reports which
iba_report can generate the others include:
nodes - a more verbose form of brnode which can provide much greater
❥
levels of detail to drill down into all the details of every node, even down to all
the port state, IOUs/IOCs/Services, Port counters.
comps and brcomps are very similar to brnodes and nodes, except the
❥
reports are organized around systems. The grouping into systems is based
on system image guids for each node. This report will help to present more
complex systems (such as servers with multiple HCAs or large switches
composed of multiple IB Switch chips).
NOTE:
links - This report presents all the links in the fabric. The output is very
❥
concise and helps to identify the connectivity between nodes in the fabric.
extlinks - All the external links in the fabric (eg. those between different
❥
systems).
ious - This is somewhat similar to the nodes reports, however the focus is
❥
around IOUs/IOCs and IO Services in the fabric. This report can be used to
identify various IO devices in the fabric and their capabilities (such as the
SilverStorm EVIC and FVIC Virtual IO Controllers or IBTA compliant
direct-attach IB storage).
otherports - All the ports which are not connected to this fabric. This report
❥
will identify additional ports on CAs or Switches which are not connected to
this fabric. For switches these represent unused ports. For CAs these may
be ports connected to other fabrics or unused ports.
The above reports are all summaries of the present state of the fabric. These
reports can be very helpful to analyze the configuration of the fabric and or verify
it was installed consistent with the desired design and configuration.

GUID

All SilverStorm switches implement a system image GUID and will
therefore be properly grouped. However, some third-party devices do not
implement the system image GUID and may report a value of 0. In such
a case iba_report will treat each component as an independent
system.
