Check Overall Fabric Health
(Host) This will run the all_analysis command to check the overall fabric
health.
The user will be prompted:
Baseline present configuration? [n]:
If the user enters y, a new baseline will be created using the present fabric
configuration. If the user enters
n, the present fabric state is checked against the
baseline and the general health of the fabric is also checked.
Generate all Hosts Problem Report Info
(Host) This will run the captureall command to collect configuration and status
information from all hosts and generate a single
*.tgz file which can be sent to
the Support Representative.
Based on the answer to the prompt shown below, various levels of detail about the
fabric can be included in the capture.
Capture detail level (1=Normal, 2-Fabric, 3-Fabric+FDB,
4-Analysis):
The Details levels are:
1-Normal - obtains local information from each host
2-Fabric - in addition to “Normal”, also obtains basic fabric information by
queries to the SM and fabric error analysis using
iba_report.
3-Fabric+FDB - in addition to “Fabric”, also obtains all the switch forwarding
tables and InfiniBand multicast membership lists from the SM.
4-Analysis - in addition to “Fabric+FDB”, also obtains all_analysis
results. If
all_analysis has not yet been run, it is run as part of the
capture.
NOTE:
Detail levels 2-4 can be used when fabric operational problems occur. If the
problem is most likely node specific, detail level 1 should be sufficient. Detail
levels 2-4 require an operational Fabric Manager. Typically your support
representative will request a given detail level. If a given detail level takes
excessively long or fails to be gathered, try a lower detail level.
