In most cases of failure, the script suggests recommended actions. Also refer to
the
ipath_checkout
man page.
ipath_control
The
ipath_control
tool is a shell script that manipulates various parameters
for the InfiniPath driver. It is installed from the
infinipath
RPM. Many of the
parameters are used only when diagnosing problems, and may require special
system configurations. Using these options may require restarting the driver or
utility programs to recover from incorrect parameters.
Most of the functionality is accessed via the
/sys
filesystem. This shell script
gathers the same information contained in these files:
/sys/class/infiniband/qib0/device/boardversion
/sys/class/infiniband/qib0/ports/1/linkcontrol/status_str
/sys/class/infiniband/qib0/device/driver/version
These files are also documented in Table G-4 and Table G-5 .
Other than the
-i
option, this script must be run with root permissions. See the
man pages for
ipath_control
for more details.
-k, --keep
This option keeps intermediate files that were created while
performing tests and compiling reports. Results are saved in
a directory created by

infinipath_XXXXXX
or in the directory name given to
--workdir
.
--workdir=DIR
Use
DIR
to hold intermediate files created while running
tests.
DIR
must not already exist.
--run=LIST

LIST
. See the seven tests
listed previously. For example,
--run=123
will run only
tests 1, 2, and 3.
