Determining the Active Fabric Manager

In a configuration with multiple switches, to determine where the master SM is, use the following host Fabric Manager command:

saquery -o sminfo

2.2.14

The sm_query Application

The sm_query application allows the user to view fabric information and to modify the configuration of the subnet manager. This includes:

Viewing and modifying the current subnet manager configuration.

Viewing a list of node records (i.e., hosts and switches) on the fabric.

Viewing a list of link records (i.e., the fabric topology).

Viewing a list of multicast records.

Viewing a list of service records.

Viewing switchInfo records.

Viewing portInfo records.

The application can be used with the host-based and embedded versions of the Fabric Manager. Following is a high-level description on how to connect to the different platforms that run the Fabric Manager:

For the Host-based Fabric Manager:

Local connection method: Run the sm_query application on the same host running the host-based Fabric Manager.

Remote connection method: Run sm_query and connect (via SNMP) to a remote host running the host-based Fabric Manager.

For the Embedded Fabric Manager:

Remote connection method: Run sm_query remotely and connect to an embedded SNMP agent (e.g., such as one running on a SilverStorm 9240).
