Managing HyperFabric

Verifying Communications within the Fabric

NOTE

Also see the clic_diag command to:

Probe a specific remote node.

Dump and format trace data.

Set the tracing level for the HyperFabric software and firmware.

The clic_diag command is detailed in the Running Diagnostics section of Chapter 6, Troubleshooting.

Examples of clic_probe

Some examples of using clic_probe are shown below.

Example 1

If the local node is bently6 and you want to send five packets to verify that the adapter clic0 (which is on bently6) is able to handle traffic, issue this command:

clic_probe -l -c clic0 -p 5

The generated output could look like this:

CLIC_PROBE: 256 byte packets

 

Local Loopback: Source

and Target Adapter ID: bently6.corp3.com:clic0

256

bytes:

seq_num

= 1.

Packet Acknowledged.

256

bytes:

seq_num

= 2.

Packet Acknowledged.

256

bytes:

seq_num

= 3.

Packet Acknowledged.

256

bytes:

seq_num

= 4.

Packet Acknowledged.

256

bytes:

seq_num

= 5.

Packet Acknowledged.

--------- bently6.corp3.com CLIC_PROBE Statistics --------

5 packets transmitted,

5 packets received, 0% packet loss.

Example 2

If the local node is bently6, and you want to verify communications with the remote node bently4, issue this command:

clic_probe bently4

CLIC_PROBE: 256 byte packets

Source adapter id: bently6.corp3.com:clic0

Target adapter id: bently4.corp7.com:clic3

256 bytes: seq_num = 1. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 2. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 3. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 4. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 5. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 6. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 7. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 8. Packet Acknowledged.

--------- bently6.corp3.com CLIC_PROBE Statistics --------

8 packets transmitted, 8 packets received, 0% packet loss.
