NAME
ibdiscover.pl - annotate and compare InfiniBand topology
SYNOPSIS
ibdiscover.pl
DESCRIPTION
ibdiscover.pl uses a topology file create by ibnetdiscover and a dis-
cover.map file which the network administrator creates which indicates
the nodes to be expected and a ibdiscover.topo file which is the
expected connectivity and produces a new connectivity file (dis-
cover.topo.new) and outputs the changes to stdout. The network adminis-
trator can choose to replace the "old" topo file with the new one or
certain changes in.
The syntax of the ibdiscover.map file is:
<nodeGUID>|port|"Text for node"|<NodeDescription from ibnetdiscover
format>
e.g.
8f10400410015|8|"ISR 6000"|# SW-6IB4 Voltaire port 0 lid 5
8f10403960558|2|"HCA 1"|# MT23108 InfiniHost Mellanox Technologies
The syntax of the old and new topo files (ibdiscover.topo and ibdis-
cover.topo.new) are:
<LocalPort>|<LocalNodeGUID>|<RemotePort>|<RemoteNodeGUID>
e.g.
10|5442ba00003080|1|8f10400410015
These topo files are produced by the ibdiscover.pl tool.
