Verify Hosts via Ethernet ping
(All) This will run the pingall command. All the hosts listed will be pinged
through the Management Network.
Summary of Fabric Components
(All) This will run the fabric_info command to provide a brief summary of the
counts of components in the fabric including how many switch chips, hosts, and
links are in the fabric. It will also indicate if any 1x links were found (that could
indicate a poorly seated or bad cable). Review the results against the expected
configuration of the cluster.
Check Status of IB Ports
(Host or All): Check Status of IB Ports allows the state and error counts of all
ports to be checked and reviewed.
Based on the answers to the prompts shown below either the
showallports or
the
iba_report command will be used.
Would you like to perform fabric error analysis? [y]:
Clear error counters after generating report? [y]:
Would you like to perform fabric link speed error analysis?
[y]:
Check for links configured to run slower than supported? [n]:
Check for links connected with mismatched speed potential?
[n]:
(All): The answer to Would you like to perform fabric error
analysis
selects whether iba_report -o errors should be run. If the user
enters
y, the Clear error counters after processing report question
is asked. If the user enters
y, the -C option will also be used on iba_report
to clear the error counters after doing the error analysis.
NOTE:
The link count includes some internal links within the switch boxes. This
means that the count displayed will be greater than the actual number of
cables.
