You should provide a sample of the contents of $file which show the string "THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH DATABASE TIME FOR ADDM ANALYSIS". Also, I think you should check the basic usage of grep; your code is way off from the basic usage.

NAME

       IBSTAT -

query basic status of InfiniBand device(s)
   SYNOPSIS
       ibstat [options] <ca_name> [portnum]

   DESCRIPTION
       ibstat  is  a binary which displays basic information obtained from the local IB driver. Output includes LID, SMLID, port state, link width
       active, and port physical state.

       It is similar to the ibstatus utility but implemented as a binary rather than a script. It has options to list CAs and/or  ports  and  dis-
       plays more information than ibstatus.

   OPTIONS
       -l, --list_of_cas

	      list all IB devices

       -s, --short

	      short output

       -p, --port_list

	      show port list

       ca_name

	      InfiniBand device name

       portnum

	      port number of InfiniBand device

   Debugging flags
       -d     raise the IB debugging level.  May be used several times (-ddd or -d -d -d).

       -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
       --config, -z  <config_file> Specify alternate config file.

	  Default: /etc/infiniband-diags/ibdiag.conf

   EXAMPLES
       ::     ibstat		 #  display status of all ports on all IB devices ibstat -l	    # list all IB devices ibstat -p	    # show
	      port guids ibstat mthca0 2   # show status of port 2 of 'mthca0'
