NOTE Also see the clic_diag command to:
Probe a specific remote node.
Dump and format trace data.
Set the tracing level for the HyperFabric software and firmware.
The clic_diag command is detailed in the Running Diagnostics section of Chapter 6,
Troubleshooting.
Examples of clic_probe
Some examples of using clic_probe are shown below.
• Example 1
If the local node is bently6 and you want to send five packets to verify that the
adapter clic0 (which is on bently6) is able to handle traffic, issue this command:
clic_probe -l -c clic0 -p 5
The generated output could look like this:
CLIC_PROBE: 256 byte packets
Local Loopback: Source and Target Adapter ID: bently6.corp3.com:clic0
256 bytes: seq_num = 1. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 2. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 3. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 4. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 5. Packet Acknowledged.
--------- bently6.corp3.com CLIC_PROBE Statistics --------
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss.
• Example 2
If the local node is bently6, and you want to verify communications with the remote
node bently4, issue this command:
clic_probe bently4
CLIC_PROBE: 256 byte packets
Source adapter id: bently6.corp3.com:clic0
Target adapter id: bently4.corp7.com:clic3
256 bytes: seq_num = 1. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 2. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 3. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 4. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 5. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 6. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 7. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 8. Packet Acknowledged.
--------- bently6.corp3.com CLIC_PROBE Statistics --------
8 packets transmitted, 8 packets received, 0% packet loss.
