Understanding InfiniBand Commands

The InfiniBand commands are a means of monitoring and controlling many aspects of the InfiniBand fabric. These commands are also run from the management controller, which is also the host of a Subnet Manager external to the switch. Only the root user of the management controller can run the InfiniBand commands. The format of the InfiniBand commands is typically as follows:

# command [option] [option] ...
