Verify IB Connectivity (Oracle Solaris)

Language:

Ensure that the adapter is properly installed in the server.
See Install the Adapter.

Power on the server and cable the server to an operational IB switch.
Refer to the documentation for the server.

Ensure that the cables are connected to the adapter and IB switch.

Verify that the IB switch is in operation on the network.
Refer to the documentation for your network hardware for more information at http://www.oracle.com/us/products/networking/overview/index.html.

Check that the green LED is lit for each port that is connected to the IB switch.
If the green LED is not on, check the cable connections at the adapter and the IB switch.

Ensure that the required OS has been installed.
See IB Overview (Oracle Solaris).

Verify that the adapter ports are up and the driver is attached.
1. Obtain the state of the installed device.
```
# cfgadm -als "cols=ap_id:condition" hca
Ap_Id                          Condition
hca:10E07A83740004              ok
```
  If more than one IB HCA device is installed in the server, a row is displayed for each. Look for the row displaying hca:GUID where GUID is the 64-bit number from the physical label on the adapter. See Rear Panel.
  
  The Condition column must display ok to indicate that the driver has discovered the hardware and is bound to it. Refer to the cfgadm_ib(1m) man page for details about the IB-specific extensions.
2. Obtain port GUIDs for each port on the adapter.
```
# cfgadm -als "cols=ap_id:info" hca
Ap_Id                          Information
hca:10E07A83740004              VID: 0x108e, PID: 0x2088, 
#ports: 0x2, port1 GUID: 0x10E07A83740005, port2 GUID: 0x10E07A83740006
```
  If more than one IB HCA device is installed in the server, a row is displayed for each device. Look for the row displaying hca:GUID, where GUID is the 64-bit number from the physical label on the adapter. See Rear Panel.
  
  Use the port number and GUID displayed by this command for your IB HCA device in the following step.
3. Verify that the IB ports and partitions are configured by the Subnet Manager.
```
# dladm show-ib
LINK HCAGUID          PORTGUID        PORT STATE GWNAME GWPORT  PKEYS
net7 10E07A83740004   10E07A83740005   1    up     --     --     8002,8005,FFFF
net8 10E07A83740004   10E07A83740006   2    up     --     --     8002,8005,FFFF
```
  The command displays the AP_ID column, where each row has the format of ib:Port GUID, P_Key,ipib. Match the Port GUIDs from the command in Step 7b with these port GUIDs. There must be one row corresponding to the port and P_Key setup by the Subnet Manager. If an entry is missing, check the Subnet Manager configuration.
```
# dladm show-part
LINK         PKEY  OVER         STATE    FLAGS
ibd0         FFFF  net7         up       ----
ibd1         FFFF  net8        up       ----
```
