IBIDSVERIFY(8)             Open IB Diagnostics             IBIDSVERIFY(8)

NAME         top

       ibidsverify - validate IB identifiers in subnet and report errors

SYNOPSIS         top

       ibidsverify.pl [-h] [-R]

DESCRIPTION         top

       ibidsverify.pl is a perl script which uses a full topology file
       that was created by ibnetdiscover, scans the network to validate
       the LIDs and GUIDs in the subnet. The validation consists of
       checking that there are no zero or duplicate identifiers.

       Finally, ibidsverify.pl will also reuse the cached ibnetdiscover
       output from some of the other diag tools which makes it a bit
       faster than running ibnetdiscover from scratch.

OPTIONS         top

       -R Recalculate the ibnetdiscover information, ie do not use the
       cached information.  This option is slower but should be used if
       the diag tools have not been used for some time or if there are
       other reasons to believe the fabric has changed.

       -C <ca_name>    use the specified ca_name.

       -P <ca_port>    use the specified ca_port.

EXIT STATUS         top

       Exit status is 1 if errors are found, 0 otherwise.
