IBCHECKNODE(8)

💖 IBCHECKNODE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ibchecknode from the OpenIB Diagnostics fam — she's an admin (section 8) girlie and her whole job is: validate IB node and report errors. periodt. 🩺✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ibchecknode [-h] [-v] [-N | -nocolor] [-G] [-C ca_name] [-P ca_port]
[-t(imeout) timeout_ms] <lid|guid>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, this tool checks connectivity and runs some simple sanity checks on the node you point it at. That's it, that's the vibe. 🌸

Now, the port address you hand her is a lid — unless you're using the -G option, in which case you're giving her a GUID address instead. Choose your fighter, bestie. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -G — use a GUID address argument. In most cases it's the Port GUID. Example: "0x08f1040023" 🌈
• -v — increase the verbosity level. more words, more lore, more output 🗣️
• -N | -nocolor — use mono rather than color mode. sad beige terminal for sad beige... no wait, she's still iconic, just monochrome 🎀
• -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. ⏰
• -h — she's in the synopsis up there, but ngl the original page doesn't spell out what she does, so I'm not about to make stuff up. not me inventing flags 🙈

real talk: the original page also writes the timeout one as -t(imeout) timeout_ms — that's literally how it's written, so I'm keeping it exactly like that. no editing, no notes. 💖
