[openib-general] New utilities

[shaharf]

Eitan, this is really not the same thing. Osmtest uses and requires a SM
list file to work. Ibnetdiscover does it by itself. It doesn't require
anything so it can operate even on networks that would bring the SM down
(trust me; I saw several of those...).

The topology created by the ibnetdiscover is the most recent topology
(right to the few last milliseconds). It doesn't depend on nothing.

Under OpenSM there is a utility named osmtest.

osmtest -f c creates a dump file with the information about all
discovered nodes ports and path records ...

Hi guys,

 

            I started to add new mad utilities:

 

            Sminfo <lid | direct path> : issue a sminfo and dump the
reply. Of course you must direct it to the sm lid/path in order to work,
but it can query also standby SMs.

 

            Ibnetdiscover: do IB net discover and print out the topology
file. You will find out that it is very useful tool to list the net and
to run a sort of sanity validation. If ibnetdiscover doesn't run
smoothly then either you have problems in your subnet, or I have a bug
;-).

 

            Both are just initial versions, but they should work.
Comments, suggestions, etc. are welcomed.

 

            Both the new simple synchronous mad RPC library (libmad).

 

            Shahar
