IBNODES_FILE
environment variable
5.
/etc/sysconfig/iba/ibnodes
file
For example if the
-N
option is used and the
IBNODES_FILE
environment
variable is also exported, the command will operate only on switches specified
via the
-N
option.
5.1.8.1
Switch List Files
The
-L
option or the
IBNODES_FILE
environment variable may be used to
provide the name of a file containing the list of SilverStorm IB switches on which
to operate. The default is
/etc/sysconfig/iba/ibnodes
. In some fabrics
it may be useful to create multiple files in
/etc/sysconfig/iba
representing
different subsets of the fabric from which the user may operate.
If a relative path is specified for the
-L
option or
CHASSIS_FILE
, the current
directory will be checked first, followed by
/etc/sysconfig/iba/
.
5.1.8.1.1
Switch List File Format
Below is a sample switch list file:
# this is a comment
0x00066a00d9000138,i9k138 # Node GUID with desired Name
0x00066a00d9000139,i9k139 # Node GUID with desired Name
include /etc/sysconfig/iba/moreswitches # included file
Each line of the switch list file may specify a single switch, a comment or another
switch list file to include.
Switches can be specified by node GUID optionally followed by a comma and
the IB Node Description (i.e., the name) to be assigned to the switch. The GUID
will be used to select the switch and on firmware update operations, the node
description will be written to the switch such that other Fast fabric tools (such as
saquery
and
iba_report
) can provide a more easily readable name for the
switch.
Files to be included may be specified via an
include
directive followed by a file
name. File names specified should generally be absolute path names. If relative
path names are used, they will be searched for within the current directory then
/etc/sysconfig/iba
.
Comments may be placed on any line. By using a
#
to precede the comment.
On lines with chassis or include directives, the
#
must be white space separated
from any preceding GUID, name or included filename.
