This section specifies the options for DragonFly+ topology validation. Topology validation checks that all DFP+ islands are built as two level “fat-trees” and they are properly interconnected. It also reports on a network theoretical “bisectional” bandwidth of the topology.
A newly generated output file – ibdiagnet2.dfp will contain details about DFP islands, their root switches, connectivity tables, global links and theoretical bandwidth.
Parameter | Description |
--dfp | Provides a report of the fabric Dragonfly+ analysis. Data will be dumped to the ibdiagnet2.dfp file. Warnings and errors will be dumped to the ibdiagnet2.log file. |
--dfp_opt | Comma separated Dragonfly+ validation options. Possible values are:
|
--smdb <file> | Loads DFP+ islands roots from the subnet manager SMDB file (if routing engine reported in opensm-smdb.dump file is “dfp”). |
Example:
ibdiagnet –-dfp
