Note

At least 1 parameter should be passed to the API.

Name	Values	Default	Dependent On*	Description
duplicate_nodes	Boolean	False		Lists all nodes with same node description. Does not include switches with the same description.
map_guids_desc	Boolean	False	duplicate_nodes	Enables the usage of a mapping file (between node GUID and node description) when running duplicate node description analysis of the fabric
ufm_alarms	Boolean	False		Lists all open alarms in UFM
sm_state	Boolean	False		Verifies that: There is only one active (master) Subnet Manager in the fabric; The master is selected according to highest priority and lowest port GUID; The report lists all SMs in the fabric with their attributes
firmware	Boolean	False		Checks for firmware inconsistencies. For each device model in the fabric, the test finds the latest installed version of the firmware and reports devices with older versions.
cables	Boolean	False		Reports cable information as stored in EEPROM on each port: cable vendor, type, length and serial number
cables_errors_only	Boolean	False	Cables	errors_only flag for cables
non_opt_links	Boolean	False		Performs a full-fabric discovery and reports 'non-responsive' ports with their path
non_opt_speed_width	Boolean	False		Enables link speed and link width checks
link_speed	["ALL", "SDR", "DDR", "QDR", "FDR_10", "FDR", "EDR"]	"ALL"	non_opt_speed_width	Checks if link speed is optimally used
Link_width	["ALL", "SDR", "DDR", "QDR", "FDR_10", "FDR", "EDR"]	"ALL"	non_opt_speed_width	Checks if link width is optimally used
iblr_links_events	Boolean	False	IBLR plugin deployment	Shows link flapping events, generated by IBLR plugin
iblr_ber_events	Boolean	False	IBLR Plugin deployment	Shows BER related events, generated by IBLR plugin
health_policy_devices	Boolean	False		Shows current defined ufm health policy ports

Note

For example: “map_guids_desc” is dependent on “duplicate_nodes” in the sense that to set “map_guids_desc”, “duplicate_nodes” has to be set to True.
