NOTE To find out the HCA (Host Channel Adapter) driver ID, type ls
/proc/iba/ | grep mt. The driver number, beginning with mt, will be
returned.
A report appears in the terminal for each command.
Generating InfiniBand Log Files for Support
The script /sbin/iba_capture gathers information about your system and
InfiniBand configurations that can be useful for troubleshooting InfiniBand
issues. This script outputs a GZIP file.
To run the InfiniBand log file capture script:
1 As root, open a terminal on your workstation and type:
/sbin/iba_capture <path and name of output gzip file>
A GZIP file is generated that includes a number of log files from your
system.
NOTE The help for this command incorrectly indicates that the output is a
TAR file, when it is in fact a GZIP file.
Viewing Port Statistics for a Mellanox IS5030 Switch
The Mellanox IS5030 switch is the recommended switch model for QDR
InfiniBand networks. It comes with a Web-based management console that
you can use to configure the switch and monitor the InfiniBand network.
When you suspect that performance is not optimal on your QDR switch, it is
a good idea to view statistics for each connected port, to determine if they are
running normally. The nominal speed for DDR InfiniBand connections is 5
Gbps, and the nominal speed for QDR connections is 10 Gbps.
To access the management console, your browser must be on the same subnet
as the InfiniBand switch, which has a default IP address of 10.10.10.252.
To view switch port statistics:
1 Open a Web browser and enter the IP address of the InfiniBand switch.
The default IP for switches shipped from Autodesk is 10.10.10.252.
The login page appears.
