--workdir=DIR

Use DIR to hold intermediate files created while running tests. DIR must not already 
exist.

-k, --keep

Keep intermediate files that were created while performing tests and compiling 
reports.  Results will be saved in a directory created by mktemp and named 
infinipath_XXXXXX

 or in the directory name given to --workdir.

--skip=LIST

Skip the tests in LIST (e.g. --skip=2,4,5,7 will skip tests 2, 4, 5, and 7) 

-d, --debug

Turn on -x and -v flags in bash.

In most cases of failure, the script suggests recommended actions.  Please see the 
ipath_checkout

 

man page for further information and updates.

This is a shell script that can be used to manipulate various parameters for the 
InfiniPath driver. Many of them are intended to be used only when diagnosing 
problems, and may require special system configurations. Use of the options may 
require restarting the driver or utility programs in order to recover from incorrect 
parameters.

Most of the functionality is accessed via the 

/sys

 filesystem. This shell script gathers 

the same information contained in these files:

/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ib_ipath/00/boardversion

/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ib_ipath/00/status_str

/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ib_ipath/version

These files are also documented in 

 and 

.

Other than the 

-i 

option, this script will need to be run with root permissions. The 

-i

 option is listed here, as it is the most commonly used. See the man pages for 

ipath_control

 for more details.

Here is sample usage and output:

$ ipath_control -i
