--node-name-map <node-name-
map>
Specifies a node name map. The node name map file maps GUIDs to
more user friendly names. See “Topology File Format” on page 81.
--cache <filename> Caches the ibnetdiscover network data in the specified filename. This
cache may be used by other tools for later analysis
--load-cache <filename> Loads and use the cached ibnetdiscover data stored in the specified
filename. May be useful for outputting and learning about other fab-
rics or a previous state of a fabric
--diff <filename> Loads cached ibnetdiscover data and do a diff comparison to the cur-
rent network or another cache. A special diff output for ibnetdiscover
output will be displayed showing differences between the old and cur-
rent fabric. By default, the following are compared for differences:
switches, channel adapters, routers, and port connections
--diffcheck <key(s)> Specifies what diff checks should be done in the --diff option above.
Comma separate multiple diff check key(s). The available diff checks
are: sw = switches, ca = channel adapters, router = routers, port = port
connections, lid = lids, nodedesc = node descriptions.
Note that port, lid, and nodedesc are checked only for the node types
that are specified (e.g. sw, ca, router). If port is specified alongside lid
or nodedesc, remote port lids and node descriptions will also be com-
pared
-p, --ports Obtains a ports report which is a list of connected ports with relevant
information (like LID, port-num, GUID, width, speed, and NodeDe-
scription)
-m, --max_hops Reports max hops discovered
--debug, -d/-ddd/ -d -d -d Raises the IB debugging level
--errors, -e Shows send and receive errors (timeouts and others)
--help, -h Shows the usage message
--verbose,-v/-vv/ -v -v -v Increases the application verbosity level
--version, -V Shows the version info
--outstanding_smps -o <val> Specifies the number of outstanding SMPs which should be issued
during the scan
-usage, -u Usages message
--Ca, -C <ca_name> Uses the specified ca_name
--Port, -P <ca_port> Uses the specified ca_port
--timeout, -t <timeout_ms> Overrides the default timeout for the solicited mads
--full, -f Shows full information (ports' speed and width)
--show, -s Shows more information
