Most of the functionality is accessed via the /sys filesystem. This shell script
gathers the same information contained in these files:
/sys/class/infiniband/ipath0/device/boardversion
/sys/class/infiniband/ipath0/device/status_str
/sys/class/infiniband/ipath0/device/driver/version
These files are also documented in Tabl e F- 4 and Table F-5.
Other than the -i option, this script must be run with root permissions. See the
man pages for ipath_control for more details.
Here is sample usage and output:
% ipath_control -i
$Id: QLogic OFED Release 1.4 $ $Date: Mon Feb 23 21:39:17 PST 2009
$
0: Version: ChipABI 2.0, InfiniPath_QLE7280, InfiniPath1 5.2, PCI
2, SW Compat 2
0: Status: 0xe1 Initted Present IB_link_up IB_configured
0: LID=0x8 MLID=0xc042 GUID=00:11:75:00:00:ff:8f:37 Serial:
AIB0807A28872
The -i option combined with the -v option is very useful for looking at the IB
width/rate and PCIe lanes/rate. For example:
% ipath_control -iv
$Id: QLogic OFED Release 1.4 $ $Date: Mon Feb 23 21:39:17 PST 2009
$

0: LID=0x8 MLID=0xc042 GUID=00:11:75:00:00:ff:8f:37 Serial:

0: HRTBT:Auto RX_polarity_invert:Auto RX_lane_reversal: Auto
0: LinkWidth:4X of 1X|4X Speed:DDR of SDR|DDR
Another useful option blinks the LED on the InfiniPath adapter (QLE7240 and
QLE7280 adapters). This is useful for finding an adapter within a cluster. Run the
following as a root user:
# ipath_control -b [On|Off]
NOTE:
On the first line, Release<version> refers to the current software release.
The second line contains chip architecture version information.
