We've got a couple of Cisco 7008/Topspin 270 core switches. Much of the diagnostic and topology information we get from the ib diag tools in OFED refer to the internal ports rather than the actual external slot/port. We could deduce the mappings, I suppose, by tracing cables and using ibtracert between nodes but that seems like a real pain. I was wondering if anyone on this list knows how that mapping works. The chassis itself consists of 8 "ib port" blades in the front labelled as slots 1 - 8. There are then six "fabric controller" slots in the back of the chassis labelled 9 - 14. Slots 11 and 12 are "special" as they hold the "master" and "standby master" fabric controllers.
Seems like the FC's in slots 11 and 12 connect the the FCs in slots 9,10,13,14 which in turn connect to the external port blades in slots 1 - 8.
Again, all of the diagnostic information refers to the internal FC ports and mapping those to the external ports (to which we actually connect leaf switches) seems non-trivial. I think there was even a document somewhere that described the mapping. We just can't find it now.
