💖 IBCLEARERRORS(8) — the OpenIB diagnostics one, bestie 💖

okay so you're in the ibclearerrors(8) era of your life and honestly? iconic. this is the little script that goes "and we are clearing the vibes" on your InfiniBand subnet. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ibclearerrors — clears the error counters in an IB subnet 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ibclearerrors [-h] [-N | -nocolor] [<topology-file> | -C ca_name -P
ca_port -t(imeout) timeout_ms]

like… it's giving "one command, zero drama". you either hand it a saved topology file, or you give it a CA and a port and a timeout and it goes off to do its thing 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

ibclearerrors is a script that clears the PMA error counters in PortCounters. and how does it do it, you ask? two ways, pick your fighter:

• it can walk the IB subnet topology itself, like a girl doing a full lap of the group chat 🌈
• or it can use an already saved topology file, because why re-walk when you already have the receipts 💅

no cap, that's the whole plot.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -N | -nocolor — use mono rather than color mode. yes bestie, monochrome. sometimes you just want the plain aesthetic 🖤
• -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. because sometimes the mads need a lil more time to answer, fr fr ⏳
• -h — the classic. help me out here 🙈

also lowkey important: in the synopsis you can see -t(imeout) — that's the exact spelling from the page, so don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 💀
