DESCRIPTION

14       ibdiscover.pl  uses  a topology file create by ibnetdiscover and a dis‐
15       cover.map file which the network administrator creates which  indicates
16       the  nodes  to  be  expected  and  a  ibdiscover.topo file which is the
17       expected connectivity  and  produces  a  new  connectivity  file  (dis‐
18       cover.topo.new) and outputs the changes to stdout. The network adminis‐
19       trator can choose to replace the "old" topo file with the  new  one  or
20       certain changes in.
21
22       The syntax of the ibdiscover.map file is:
23
24       <nodeGUID>|port|"Text  for  node"|<NodeDescription  from  ibnetdiscover
25       format>
26
27       e.g.
28
29       8f10400410015|8|"ISR 6000"|# SW-6IB4 Voltaire port 0 lid 5
30
31       8f10403960558|2|"HCA 1"|# MT23108 InfiniHost Mellanox Technologies
32
33       The syntax of the old and new topo files  (ibdiscover.topo  and  ibdis‐
34       cover.topo.new) are:
35
36       <LocalPort>|<LocalNodeGUID>|<RemotePort>|<RemoteNodeGUID>
37
38       e.g.
39
40       10|5442ba00003080|1|8f10400410015
