Performing a First Test

Getting Started with the IBTrainer

CATC IBTrainer InfiniBand Exerciser, August 2002

For instance, if both devices are set to Initialized, you can select

AutoNegotiate

and click Active to have both devices set as Active: the

IBTrainer sets the link state from Initialized to Armed and then from

Armed

to Active for both devices.

Because we intend to only send Subnet Management packets (SMP) in

the current test, we only need to set the link training of the IBTrainer to

Poll

. In that case, the status of the link training state machine eventually

becomes LinkUp and the link state machine Initialized.

Sending an SMP Packet

The software is delivered with three sample packets that you can use for

your first tests:

Sample SMP packet which is a Subnet Management Packet

Sample IB packet which is a standard InfiniBand packet

Sample GMP packet which is a Management datagram (MAD) packet
