findport Command

Displays the location of a GUID. Issued on the CMC.

Syntax

findport -g guid port

where:

• guid is the global unit identifier.

• port is the number of the port (1–36).

Description

This switch-specific command displays the location of a switch chip within the switch. The output of the findport command also states if the port of the switch chip routes to a cable connection. The global unit identifier (GUID) for a node is provided in hexadecimal form, with the leading 0x truncated. The -g option signifies a GUID is provided and is required.

The findport command also reports if the port is tied to an InfiniBand cable CXP connector, such as for a line card. The connector is identified by group_number letter-P_number, where:

• group_number is the connector group number (0–11).

• letter is the letter representing the upper row (A) or lower row (B).

• P_number is the number identifying the respective P and the location of the Link LED:

  • 1 – P1, the right Link LED

  • 2 – P2, the center Link LED

  • 3 – P3, the left Link LED

Example

The following example shows how to display the location of the node with GUID 0x0021283a83ae11d2, port 19 within the switch with the findport command.

# findport -g 0021283a83ae11d2 19
Port 19 on switch 3 on LC 1 cable 9 B-3
#

In the example output, the node with GUID 0021283a83ae11d2 is I4 chip 3 in line card 1. The link is to CXP cable connector 9B. The -3 means P3 carries the link, and link status is indicated with the left Link LED.
