NVIDIA UFM Enterprise User Manual v6.21.2

Ports Window

Provides a list of all ports in UFM.

Note

Important: For InfiniBand network devices that support port labels (e.g., XDR, NDR switches, HCAs of type ConnectX-6 or later), the port dname will include port labels (e.g., "dname": "1/3/1" ). For other types, only the port number will be displayed.

The table can be filtered by port state. The filter contains two options:

  • Active – only active ports

  • All – all ports

Note

All enable/disable actions on managed switches’ ports are persistent. Thus, if a managed switch port is disabled, the port remains disabled even when rebooting the switch.

Clicking "Cable Information" opens up a window which provides data on operational, module, and troubleshooting information as shown in the following:

Note

UFM supports showing extended cable information for XDR aggregated ports.

Eye opening information contains the following data:

  • Physical Grade: [Grade0, Grade1, Grade2, Grade3]

  • Height Eye Opening [mV]: [Height0, Height1, Height2, Height3]

  • Phase Eye Opening [psec]: [Phase0, Phase1, Phase2, Phase3]

A new tab called Eye Information was added under cable information modal in ports table.

The High BER Ports tab lists all high-BER ports in the fabric.

The flags high_ber_ports_auto_isolation must be configured in the gv.cfg file to enable this feature.

For each port discovered as a high-BER port, a new event is triggered in the Events table.

Marking the high-BER port as unhealthy suppresses all events and notifications related to the auto-isolated port.
