VENDSTAT(8) OpenIB Diagnostics VENDSTAT(8)NAME
vendstat - query InfiniBand vendor specific functions
SYNOPSIS
vendstat [-d(ebug)] [-G(uid)] [-N] [-w] [-C ca_name] [-P ca_port] [-t(imeout) timeout_ms] [-V(ersion)] [-h(elp)] <lid|guid>
DESCRIPTION
vendstat uses vendor specific MADs to access beyond the IB spec vendor specific functionality. Currently, there is support only for Mel-
lanox InfiniSwitch-III (IS3).
OPTIONS -N show IS3 general information.
-w show IS3 port xmit wait counters.
COMMON OPTIONS
Most OpenIB diagnostics take the following common flags. The exact list of supported flags per utility can be found in the usage message
and can be shown using the util_name -h syntax.
# Debugging flags
-d raise the IB debugging level.
May be used several times (-ddd or -d -d -d).
-e show send and receive errors (timeouts and others)
-h show the usage message
-v increase the application verbosity level.
May be used several times (-vv or -v -v -v)
-V show the version info.
# Addressing flags
-G use GUID address argument. In most cases, it is the Port GUID.
Example:
"0x08f1040023"
-s <smlid> use 'smlid' as the target lid for SM/SA queries.
# Other common flags:
-C <ca_name> use the specified ca_name.
-P <ca_port> use the specified ca_port.
-t <timeout_ms> override the default timeout for the solicited mads.
Multiple CA/Multiple Port Support
When no IB device or port is specified, the port to use is selected by the following criteria:
1. the first port that is ACTIVE.
2. if not found, the first port that is UP (physical link up).
If a port and/or CA name is specified, the user request is attempted to be fulfilled, and will fail if it is not possible.
EXAMPLES
vendstat -N 6 # read IS3 general information
vendstat -w 6 # read IS3 port xmit wait counters

VENDSTAT -
query InfiniBand vendor specific functions
SYNOPSIS
vendstat [options] <lid|guid>
DESCRIPTION
vendstat uses vendor specific MADs to access beyond the IB spec vendor specific functionality. Currently, there is support for Mellanox
InfiniSwitch-III (IS3) and InfiniSwitch-IV (IS4).
OPTIONS
-N
show IS3 or IS4 general information.
-w
show IS3 port xmit wait counters.
-i
show IS4 counter group info.
-c <num,num>
configure IS4 counter groups.
Configure IS4 counter groups 0 and 1. Such configuration is not persistent across IS4 reboot. First number is for counter group 0
and second is for counter group 1.
Group 0 counter config values:
::
0 - PortXmitDataSL0-7 1 - PortXmitDataSL8-15 2 - PortRcvDataSL0-7
Group 1 counter config values:
:: 1 - PortXmitDataSL8-15 2 - PortRcvDataSL0-7 8 - PortRcvDataSL8-15
-R, --Read <addr,mask>
Read configuration space record at addr
-W, --Write <addr,val,mask>
Write configuration space record at addr
Addressing Flags
-G, --Guid The address specified is a Port GUID
-L, --Lid The address specified is a LID
-s, --sm_port <smlid> use 'smlid' as the target lid for SA queries.
Port Selection flags
-C, --Ca <ca_name> use the specified ca_name.
-P, --Port <ca_port> use the specified ca_port.
Local port Selection
Multiple port/Multiple CA support: when no IB device or port is specified (see the "local umad parameters" below), the libibumad library
selects the port to use by the following criteria:
1. the first port that is ACTIVE.
2. if not found, the first port that is UP (physical link up).
If a port and/or CA name is specified, the libibumad library attempts to fulfill the user request, and will fail if it is not possible.
For example:
ibaddr # use the first port (criteria #1 above)
ibaddr -C mthca1 # pick the best port from "mthca1" only.
ibaddr -P 2 # use the second (active/up) port from the first available IB device.
ibaddr -C mthca0 -P 2 # use the specified port only.
Debugging flags
-d raise the IB debugging level. May be used several times (-ddd or -d -d -d).
-e show send and receive errors (timeouts and others)
-h, --help show the usage message
-v, --verbose
increase the application verbosity level. May be used several times (-vv or -v -v -v)
-V, --version show the version info.
Configuration flags
-t, --timeout <timeout_ms> override the default timeout for the solicited mads.
--config, -z <config_file> Specify alternate config file.
Default: /etc/infiniband-diags/ibdiag.conf
FILES
CONFIG FILE
/etc/infiniband-diags/ibdiag.conf
A global config file is provided to set some of the common options for all tools. See supplied config file for details.
EXAMPLES
:: vendstat -N 6 # read IS3 or IS4 general information vendstat -w 6 # read IS3 port xmit wait counters vendstat -i
6 12 # read IS4 port 12 counter group info vendstat -c 0,1 6 12 # configure IS4 port 12 counter groups for PortXmitDataSL
vendstat -c 2,8 6 12 # configure IS4 port 12 counter groups for PortRcvDataSL
