Goal

How to find the part number and other details of the transceiver sitting on a port of an Infiniband Switch ?

Solution

Login as root to the Infiniband switch, and cd into /tmp/json

Here is an example:

#cd /tmp/json

#ls

badlinks_speed_width  conn_fru.12B     conn_fru.3A  conn_fru.9A
bxm_port_query        conn_fru.13A     conn_fru.3B  conn_fru.9B
bxm_vnic_query        conn_fru.13B     conn_fru.4A  extended_cntrs_query
connectors            conn_fru.14A     conn_fru.4B  high_err_rate
conn_fru.0A           conn_fru.14B     conn_fru.5A  high_err_rate.txt
conn_fru.0A_ETH       conn_fru.15A     conn_fru.5B  ib_query
conn_fru.0B           conn_fru.15B     conn_fru.6A  portinfo_query
conn_fru.10A          conn_fru.1A      conn_fru.6B  sensors
conn_fru.10B          conn_fru.1A_ETH  conn_fru.7A  sminfo
conn_fru.11A          conn_fru.1B      conn_fru.7B  smpartition
conn_fru.11B          conn_fru.2A      conn_fru.8A  version
conn_fru.12A          conn_fru.2B      conn_fru.8B

The files conn_fru.* have the details of the transceiver.  Display each of those files to know the details of the transceiver.

Here is an example.

# cat conn_fru.1A

conn_fru1A([{"conn_name":"1A","conn_status":"Present","identifier":"QSFP","conntype":"MPO","vendor":"AVAGO","vendoroui":"00144F","pno":"135-1204-01-","rev":"50","sno":"AK1249Z0033","date":"121205"}]);

This shows that the transceiver part number is 135-1204.  That has an MPO connector with fibre cable.  The vendor is AVAGO.

Here is an example of another port:

# cat conn_fru.5A

conn_fru5A([{"conn_name":"5A","conn_status":"Present","identifier":"QSFP+","conntype":"No separable","vendor":"TE Connectivity","vendoroui":"004020","pno":"530-4446-01","rev":"50","sno":"1414004G","date":"14032500"}]);

This shows that this port has a copper cable with part number 530-4446.

This information is also available in the Infiniband switch ILOM snapshot.
