InfiniBand Connector Status Window

In the rear panel diagram, there are 32 InfiniBand receptacles displayed, labeled 0A to 15A and 0B to 15B. Moving the mouse cursor over a connector name opens a small window that states the respective I4 switch chip port for that connector. This figure provides an example of moving the mouse cursor over the 0A for connection 0A.

When a connector is physically present in an InfiniBand receptacle, the receptacle changes from a black rectangle to a gray rectangle with three indicators.

This table describes the three indicators of the InfiniBand connection rectangle.

Moving the mouse cursor over an indicator that is orange or red opens a small window that states the reason for the respective state:

• A left indicator is orange because the link has been autodisabled, either because of high error rate or suboptimal link speed and width.

• A center indicator is orange because the link is at a speed slower than QDR, such as SDR or DDR.

• A right indicator is red because there are errors (symbol, recovery, and so on) on the link.

This figure provides an example of moving the mouse cursor over the orange left indicator for connection 0A.

Clicking on the connection opens the InfiniBand connector status window for that connector. This figure provides an example of an InfiniBand connector status window.

At the top of the window are the connector name and the respective I4 switch chip port. There are four sets of information in the window, the cable FRU ID information, the link status, information about the I4 switch chip port (Switch Port), and similar information about the port's InfiniBand peer (Peer Port).

The cable FRU ID information includes:

• Identifier

• Connector type

• Vendor

• Vendor OUI

• Part number

• Revision

• Serial number

• Date of manufacture

The link information includes:

• Link width, both enabled and active

• Link speed, both enabled and active

• High error rate present

• Link state, status, and stability

The port information includes:

• Device name and type

• GUID, LID, and respective port

• Link status and quality

• Symbol errors

• Recovery errors

• Errors of various categories

• Throughput statistics

Clicking Close dismisses the InfiniBand connector status window.
