SYNOPSIS
ibdiscover.pl
DESCRIPTION
ibdiscover.pl uses a topology file create by ibnetdiscover
and a discover.map file which the network administrator cre-
ates which indicates the nodes to be expected and a ibdis-
cover.topo file which is the expected connectivity and pro-
duces a new connectivity file (discover.topo.new) and out-
puts the changes to stdout. The network administrator can
choose to replace the "old" topo file with the new one or
certain changes in.
The syntax of the ibdiscover.map file is:
<nodeGUID>|port|"Text for node"|<NodeDescription from ibnet-
discover format>

8f10400410015|8|"ISR 6000"|# SW-6IB4 Voltaire port 0 lid 5
8f10403960558|2|"HCA 1"|# MT23108 InfiniHost Mellanox Tech-
nologies
The syntax of the old and new topo files (ibdiscover.topo
and ibdiscover.topo.new) are:
<LocalPort>|<LocalNodeGUID>|<RemotePort>|<RemoteNodeGUID>
e.g.
10|5442ba00003080|1|8f10400410015
These topo files are produced by the ibdiscover.pl tool.
