💖 ethfabricinfo 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ethfabricinfo(8) — she's part of the EFSFFCLIRG manual fam, and she is exactly the low-effort high-reward queen you want when you just need to know what's going on in your fabric.

ethfabricinfo gives you a brief summary of the components in the fabric. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

she's lowkey the bestie you call for a quick assessment of the fabric state. run her against a known-good fabric to see what its components are, then run her again later and clock if anything changed about the fabric configuration or state. it's giving before-and-after glow up check. 💅

🫶 heads up: for more extensive fabric analysis, use ethreport. both of these tools live in the Intel(R) Ethernet Fabric Suite FastFabric User Guide.

✨ Syntax ✨

ethfabricinfo [-v] [-q] [-E  file] [-p  planes] [-f  host_files] [-X
snapshot_input]

🎀 Options 🎀

• --help — produces the full help text. she will tell you everything, no gatekeeping. 💖
• -v — returns verbose output. more words, more lore. 👑
• -q — disables progress reports. if you're the type who hates the little "still working on it" updates, this is your girl. shhh. 🤫
• -E file — specifies the Ethernet Mgt config file. the default is /etc/eth-tools/mgt_config.xml. 🍓
• -p planes — fabric planes, separated by space. default is the first enabled plane defined in the config file. the value 'ALL' will use all enabled planes. collect them all like they're pokémon, fr fr. 🌈
• -f host_files — hosts files separated by space. this overrides the HostsFiles defined in the Mgt config file for the corresponding planes. the value 'DEFAULT' will use the HostFile defined in Mgt config file for the corresponding plane. ✨
• -X snapshot_input — generates a report using data in the snapshot_input file. no live fabric needed, we're working from the receipts. 📸

🌸 Example 🌸

ethfabricinfo

ethfabricinfo -X snapshot.xml

ethfabricinfo -p 'p1 p2' -f 'hosts1 DEFAULT'

look at her go. three little lines, three whole moods. 😭
