Q
Number of 1x Ports - number of ports in the fabric running at 1x speed.
Typically such ports represent a bad cable connection, a bad cable, too long
a cable or perhaps faulty hardware on one side of the link.
Fabric_info can be very useful as a quick assessment of the fabric state.
Fabric_info can be run against a known good fabric to identify its components
and then later run to see if anything has changed about the fabric configuration
or state. When used in this manner it can be used to quickly identify if CAs are
down, links are missing, SMs are missing, etc.
For more extensive fabric analysis, see iba_report.
5.4.2
showallports
(Switch and Host): Displays basic port state and statistics for all host nodes,
chassis or externally managed switches.
NOTE: iba_report is a newer and more powerful Fast Fabric command. For
general fabric analysis, use iba_report with options such as -o
errors and/or -o slowlinks to perform a more efficient analysis of
link speeds and errors.
Usage:
showallports [-C|-I] [-f hostfile] [-F chassisfile] [-L
ibnodefile] [-h 'hosts'] [-H 'chassis'] [-N 'ibnodes'] [-M
'host'] [-S]
-C - perform operation against chassis; the default is hosts
-I - perform operation against IB nodes; the default is hosts
-f hostfile - file with hosts in cluster; the default is
/etc/sysconfig/iba/hosts
-F chassisfile - file with chassis in cluster; the default is
/etc/sysconfig/iba/chassis
-L ibnodefile - a file with ib nodes in the cluster; the default is
/etc/sysconfig/iba/ibnodes
-h hosts - a list of hosts to show port information
-H chassis - a list of chassis to show port information
-N ibnodes - a list of IB nodes to show port information
-M host - The management host. This is the remote host from which to run
IB node queries; the default is localhost
-S - securely prompt for password for administrator on chassis
