Thanks Hal for the reply.

While going through the Infiniband utilities available, I came to know
'ibdiagnet' utility from "IBDM" can generate the network
topology file in the format of "ibdm" with '-wt' option. But the problem is
'ibdiagnet' is not working on Infiniband simulator 'ibsim'.

AFAIK, all IB utilities which use "libibumad.so" should work seamlessly
with the 'ibsim'. Does 'ibdiagnet' use any other libraries ?

regards,
Mahesh
