vstat is the fourth version of some sort of status. There are ibstat and ibstatus working at either the driver or umad layer. There is also ibv_devinfo which displays a subset of this info from the verbs layer. So this adds some things which may be useful. Perhaps a rename to ibv_stat to be more in sync. As far as check_catastrophic goes, this basically does a query_device and so is less than what is done in the ibv_devinfo example so this one may be less useful. Also, rather than or in addition to device name, should this take a GID or GUID as an alternative to device name ? Also, they should be changed to be built with autotools as is the OpenIB way. -- Hal _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
