💖 IBPRINTRT(8) — the ibprintrt.pl glow-up 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the OpenIB Diagnostics collection, and it's filed under section 8 (admin commands, iykyk). Sit down, grab a boba, and let's talk routers. 🧚✨

✨ NAME ✨

ibprintrt.pl — print either only the router specified or a list of routers from the ibnetdiscover output. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ibprintrt.pl [-R -l -C <ca_name> -P <ca_port>] [<rt_guid|node_name>]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Literally it's faster than greping or opening the output of ibnetdiscover in an editor, no cap. ibprintrt.pl will parse out and print either the router information for the specified IB router, or a list of all the IB routers in the subnet. Pick your fighter. 💅

And the best part — ibprintrt.pl also reuses the cached ibnetdiscover output from some of the other diag tools, which makes it a bit faster than running ibnetdiscover from scratch. Recycling queen behavior fr fr. ♻️👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -l — List the Rts (simply a wrapper for ibrouters). Short, sweet, iconic.
  • -R — Recalculate the ibnetdiscover information, i.e. do not use the cached information. This option is slower but should be used if the diag tools have not been used for some time, or if there are other reasons to believe that the fabric has changed. Heads up: slower = it's doing the whole thing from scratch, bestie. 🐌
  • -C <ca_name> — use the specified ca_name for the search.
  • -P <ca_port> — use the specified ca_port for the search.
Reminder bestie: -R is the "trust me, something moved" button. If the fabric changed and you don't pass it, you're reading stale tea. 😭
