Understanding the SUN-PLATFORM-MIB MIB OIDs
In an InfiniBand fabric, the Subnet Manager and Subnet Administrator assign subnet-specific LIDs to nodes. Often in the use of the InfiniBand commands, you must provide a LID to send a command to a particular InfiniBand device. Alternatively, the output of a command might identify InfiniBand devices by their LID.
You can create a file that is a mapping of node LIDs to node GUIDs, which can help with administrating your InfiniBand fabric. The following procedure creates a file that lists the LID in hexadecimal, the GUID in hexadecimal, and the node description.
Note - Creation of the mapping file is not a requirement for InfiniBand administration.
# osmtest -f c -i inventory.txt
Note - The inventory.txt file can be used for other purposes besides this procedure.
# cat inventory.txt |grep -e ’^lid’ -e ’port_guid’ -e ’desc’ |sed ’s/^lid/\nlid/’ > mapping.txt
The content of the mapping.txt file looks similar to the following:
Note - The output in the example is just a portion of the entire file.
lid 0x14 port_guid 0x0021283a8620b0a0 # node_desc Sun DCS 72 QDR switch 1.2(LC) lid 0x15 port_guid 0x0021283a8620b0b0 # node_desc Sun DCS 72 QDR switch 1.2(LC) lid 0x16 port_guid 0x0021283a8620b0c0 # node_desc Sun DCS 72 QDR switch 1.2(LC) . . .
