IBCHECKPORTWIDTH(8)

💖 IBCHECKPORTWIDTH — the ibcheckportwidth(8) page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is ibcheckportwidth from the OpenIB Diagnostics fam. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing link width forensics.

✨ NAME ✨

ibcheckportwidth — validate an IB port for 1x link width 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what does it actually do? It checks connectivity, and then it checks that the port you pointed at is running at 1x link width ✨

The port address is a lid unless you use the -G option to specify a GUID address instead. That's the whole vibe check. No cap.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -G — use a GUID address argument. In most cases, it is the Port GUID. Example: "0x08f1040023" 💅
• -v — crank up the verbosity level 📈
• -N | -nocolor — use mono rather than color mode. (no color?? in THIS economy?? but okay, sometimes your terminal is not serving 💀)
• -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. ⏳

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

ibcheckportwidth 2 3         # check lid 2 port 3

that's it. that's the whole thing. go check lid 2, port 3, main character energy 👑
