Fabric Validation Tab

Check LIDs

Detects invalid LIDs such as:

• Zero LID

• Duplicate LIDs

Check Links

Identifies connectivity issues where connected ports are not all in the same state (e.g., not all active).

Check Subnet Manager

Checks for SM-related errors:

• Failed to get SMInfo MAD

• SM Not Found

• SM Not Correct (Incorrect master SM priority)

• Multiple master SMs

Check Duplicate Nodes

Detects nodes with duplicated descriptions.

Check Duplicate GUIDs

Identifies duplicate GUIDs in the fabric.

Check Routing

Detects failures in retrieving routing MADs.

Check Link Speed

Validates link speed consistency. Issues include:

• Speed mismatches between ports

• Wrong/unsupported configuration – 'enable' not part of the 'supported'

• Unexpected speeds

Check Link Width

Validates link width consistency. Issues include:

• Width mismatches between ports

• Wrong/Unsupported configurations

• Unexpected widths

Check Partition Key

Checks for PKey errors, such as:

• Failed retrieval of PKey tables

• Mismatching PKeys between ports

Check Temperature

Verifies ability to retrieve temperature sensor data.

Check Cables

Detects cable-related issues:

• Unsupported cable info

• Failure in retrieving data (provides a reason)

Check Effective BER

Ensures the Effective Bit Error Rate (BER) does not exceed the configured threshold.

Dragonfly Topology Validation

Validates whether the fabric topology is of the Dragonfly type.

SHARP Fabric Validation

Checks for SHARP configuration correctness in the fabric.

Tree Topology Validation

Validates if the fabric follows a tree topology.

Socket Direct Mode Reporting

Displays inventory of HCAs using socket direct mode.

Validate SM Configuration

Confirms all HCAs share consistent Subnet Manager configuration.

Validate Nodes Firmware Version

Ensures all HCAs are running the latest firmware version.

Validate Switches CPLD Version

Verifies that all switches have the latest CPLD version installed.
