Signal Integrity Thresholds Configuration File
The /etc/sysconfig/iba/iba_mon.si.conf configuration file defines port
counter signal integrity thresholds.
This file allows analysis for any non-zero error counters related to Signal Integrity
(bad cables, etc) and can be used by adding the -c option to iba_report,
iba_extract_error and other related fastfabric tools.
An example of a sample file is provided, and matches the internal defaults of the
FastFabric tools.
# This file controls the iba_mon Port Counter monitoring Thresholds.
# [ICS VERSION STRING: @(#) ./config/iba_mon.si.conf
x_x_x_x_x [MM/DD/YY hh:mm]
# This is a variation of the default iba_mon.conf file. This file only
# checks error counters related to Signal Integrity. Thresholds are set
# such that any and all non-zero counters will be visible. This can be
# useful when using iba_report -o errors, iba_extract_error, and other
# related tools. For many FastFabric tools this filename can be specified by
# the -c option.
#
# Error Counters are specified in absolute number of errors over Interval.
# All Data Movement thresholds are specified in terms of average data/second
# over the monitoring interval.
#
# Setting a threshold to 0 disables monitoring of the given counter
#
# Output is generated when a threshold is exceeded.
#
# Counters for which a non-zero threshold is specified will be cleared by
# iba_mon and may impact any remote Performance Managers which are monitoring
# the given Counter
