osmtest Command - Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 648 Topic Set

`osmtest` Command

Runs the InfiniBand Subnet Manager and administration test program. Issued on the Linux InfiniBand host.

Syntax

osmtest [-f c|a|v|s|e|f|m|q|t][-w time][-dopt][-m lid][-g guid][-p][-i filename][-sopt][-Mopt][-t timeout][-l path][-v][-vf flags][-h]

where:

time is the wait time in seconds.
opt is a numeric option.
lid is the local identifier.
guid is the global unit identifier.
filename is the path and name of the inventory file.
timeout is the timeout in milliseconds.
path is the path and name of the log file.
flags is the log verbosity.

Description

The osmtest command creates an inventory file of all available nodes, ports, and path records, and compares the file with a previously created file. After the first run of OpenSM, you can create the inventory file with the -f c option. At a later time, you can run osmtest -f v to identify where there have been changes.

The osmtest command conducts the following tests:

Multicast compliancy test
Event forwarding test
Service record registration test
RMPP stress test
Small Subnet Administrator queries test

Options

The following table describes the options to the osmtest command and their purposes:

Option	Purpose
`-f`	Directs `osmtest` to run a specific test flow: `c` – Creates an inventory file with all nodes, ports, and paths. `a` – Runs all validation tests. `v` – Validates only the given inventory file. `s` – Runs service registration, deregistration, and lease tests. `e` – Runs the event forwarding test. `f` – Floods the Subnet Administrator with queries according to the stress mode. `m` – Multicast flow. `q` – Quality of Service information, dumps the VLarb and SL2VL tables. `t` – Runs trap 64/65 flow.
`-w`	Specifies the wait time for the trap 64/65 flow.
`-d`	Specifies debug and an option to the debug. The value of `-dopt` is as follows: `-d0` – Ignore other Subnet Manager nodes. `-d1` – Force single threaded dispatching. `-d2` – Force log flushing after each log message. `-d3` – Disable multicast support
`-m`	Specifies the maximum LID to be searched during the inventory file build.
`-g`	Binds OpenSM to the local port of `guid` value. If no value for `guid` is provided, OpenSM will display available GUIDs and wait for user input.
`-p`	Displays a list of available port GUIDs to which `osmtest` could bind.
`-i`	Specifies the `filename` of the inventory file. The default is `osmtest.dat`.
`-s`	Runs the specified stress test instead of the normal test suite. The value of `-sopt` is as follows: `-s1` – Single management datagram response Subnet Administrator queries. `-s2` – Multimanagement datagram RMPP response Subnet Administrator queries. `-s3` – Multimanagement datagram RMPP path record Subnet Administrator queries.
`-M`	Specifies length of multicast test. The value of `-Mopt` is as follows: `-M1` – Short multicast flow, single mode. `-M2` – Short multicast flow, multiple mode. `-M3` – Long multicast flow, single mode. `-M4` – Long multicast flow, multiple mode. In single mode, `osmtest` is tested alone. In multiple mode, `osmtest` is run with other applications using multicast with OpenSM.
`-t`	Overrides the default timeout.
`-l`	Sets the log file to be `path`. The default action is to direct the log to standard output.
`-v`	Increases the log verbosity.
`-V`	Sets the log verbosity to maximum. The same as `-vf` `0xFF`
`-vf`	Sets the log verbosity according to the following bit `flags`: `0x01` – `ERROR` (error messages) `0x02` – `INFO` (basic messages, low volume) `0x04` – `VERBOSE` (moderate volume) `0x08` – `DEBUG` (diagnostic, high volume) `0x10` – `FUNCS` (function entry and exit, very high volume) `0x20` – `FRAMES` (dumps all SMP and GMP frames) `0x40` – `ROUTING` (dumps FDB routing information) The default is `ERROR` + `INFO`, or `0x03`. The option `-vf` `0` turns off all log messaging. Note - High verbosity levels might require increasing the transaction timeout with the `-t` `timeout` option.
`-h`	Displays usage information.

Example

The following example shows how to run all validation tests with the osmtest command.
