After establishing InfiniBand network connectivity, you can verify the status of the basic InfiniBand network connectivity with rds-ping
, rds-info -l
by using the ibstat
command on the Exalytics machine.
The ibstat
command displays the basic status, as in the following example:
# ibstat CA 'mlx4_0' CA type: MT26428 Number of ports: 2 Firmware version: 2.7.8130 Hardware version: b0 Node GUID: 0x0021280001cf577e System image GUID: 0x0021280001cf5781 Port 1: State: Active Physical state: LinkUp Rate: 40 Base lid: 106 LMC: 0 SM lid: 54 Capability mask: 0x02510868 Port GUID: 0x0021280001cf577f Link layer: IB Port 2: State: Active Physical state: LinkUp Rate: 40 Base lid: 95 LMC: 0 SM lid: 54 Capability mask: 0x02510868 Port GUID: 0x0021280001cf5780 Link layer: IB
The physical state of connected ports is shown as LinkUp
