Understanding ILOM on the Switch
Often you need to know the route between two nodes. The ibtracert command can provide that information, displaying the GUIDs, ports, and LIDs of the nodes along the route.
On the Linux InfiniBand host, type:
# ibtracert slid dlid
where:
slid is the LID of the source node.
dlid is the LID of the destination node.
For example:
# ibtracert 58 57 From ca {0x0003ba000100c708} portnum 2 lid 58-58 "nsn34-39 HCA-1" [2] -> switch port {0x00bad0cc010016a2}[22] lid 1-1 "Sun DCS 648 shmm1500 LC slot 6 switch 0" [1] -> switch port {0x00bad0fc0100f8b2}[7] lid 57-57 "Sun DCS 648 shmm1500 FC slot 8 switch 1" To switch {0x00bad0fc0100f8b2} portnum 0 lid 57-57 "Sun DCS 648 shmm1500 FC slot 8 switch 1" #
For this example:
The route starts at the local HCA hosting the Subnet Manager. The HCA has GUID 0x0003ba000100c708 and is using port 2. The HCA is LID 58 and in the description, the HCA host’s name is nsn34-39.
The route enters at port 2 of the switch with GUID 0x00bad0cc010016a2 and exits at port 22. The switch is LID 1, and from the description is inside line card 6 and is switch chip 0.
The route enters at port 1 of the switch with GUID 0x00bad0fc0100f8b2 and exits at port 7. The switch is LID 57, and from the description is inside fabric card 8 and is switch chip 1.
The route ends at switch with GUID 0x00bad0fc0100f8b2 at port 0. The switch is LID 57, and from the description is inside fabric card 8 and is switch chip 1.
Note - The ports that are identified in this route might not be the same ports as are identified by the switch-specific commands and CLIA commands.
Note - You can use the -G option to specify GUIDs instead of LIDs for the ibtracert command.
