NAME
ibtracert- trace InfiniBand path
SYNOPSIS
ibtracert [-d(ebug)] [-v(erbose)] [-G(uids)] [-n(o_info)]
[-m mlid] [-s smlid] [-C ca_name] [-P ca_port] [-t(imeout)
timeout_ms] [-V(ersion)] [--node-name--map <node-name-map>]
[-h(elp)] [<lid|guid> [<startlid> [<endlid>]]]
DESCRIPTION
ibtracert uses SMPs to trace the path from a source GID/LID
to a destination GID/LID. Each hop along the path is dis-
played until the destination is reached or a hop does not
respond. By using the -m option, multicast path tracing can
be performed between source and destination nodes.
OPTIONS
-n, --no_info
simple format; don't show additional information
-m show the multicast trace of the specified mlid
--node-name-map <node-name-map>
Specify a node name map. The node name map file maps
GUIDs to more user friendly names. See ibnetdis-
cover(1m) for node name map file format.
COMMON OPTIONS
Most OpenIB diagnostics take the following common flags. The
exact list of supported flags per utility can be found in
the usage message and can be shown using the util_name -h
syntax.
# Debugging flags
-d raise the IB debugging level.
May be used several times (-ddd or -d -d -d).
-h show the usage message
-v increase the application verbosity level.
May be used several times (-vv or -v -v -v)
-V show the version info.
# Addressing flags

-G use GUID address argument. In most cases, it is the
Port GUID.
Example:
"0x08f1040023"
-s <smlid> use 'smlid' as the target lid for SM/SA
queries.
# Other common flags:
-C <ca_name> use the specified ca_name.
-P <ca_port> use the specified ca_port.
-t <timeout_ms> override the default timeout for the
solicited mads.
Multiple CA/Multiple Port Support
When no IB device or port is specified, the port to use is
selected by the following criteria:
1. the first port that is ACTIVE.
2. if not found, the first port that is UP (physical link
up).
If a port and/or CA name is specified, the user request is
attempted to be fulfilled, and will fail if it is not possi-
ble.
EXAMPLES
Unicast examples
ibtracert 4 16 # show path between lids 4 and
16
ibtracert -n 4 16 # same, but using simple output
format
ibtracert -G 0x8f1040396522d 0x002c9000100d051 # use guid
addresses
Multicast example
ibtracert -m 0xc000 4 16 # show multicast path of mlid
0xc000 between lids 4 and 16
