12 vendstat uses vendor specific MADs to access beyond the IB spec
13 vendor specific functionality. Currently, there is support only for
14 Mellanox InfiniSwitch-III (IS3).
21 show IS3 general information.
24 show IS3 port xmit wait counters.
28 Most OpenIB diagnostics take the following common flags. The exact list of
29 supported flags per utility can be found in the usage message and can be shown
30 using the util_name -h syntax.
34 \-d raise the IB debugging level.
35 May be used several times (-ddd or -d -d -d).
37 \-e show send and receive errors (timeouts and others)
39 \-h show the usage message
41 \-v increase the application verbosity level.
42 May be used several times (-vv or -v -v -v)
44 \-V show the version info.
48 \-G use GUID address argument. In most cases, it is the Port GUID.
52 \-s <smlid> use 'smlid' as the target lid for SM/SA queries.
56 \-C <ca_name> use the specified ca_name.
58 \-P <ca_port> use the specified ca_port.
60 \-t <timeout_ms> override the default timeout for the solicited mads.
62 Multiple CA/Multiple Port Support
64 When no IB device or port is specified, the port to use is selected
65 by the following criteria:
67 1. the first port that is ACTIVE.
69 2. if not found, the first port that is UP (physical link up).
71 If a port and/or CA name is specified, the user request is
72 attempted to be fulfilled, and will fail if it is not possible.
