14 Infiniband Switch

These metrics describe the performance of each port of the switch and the aggregation of performance for Switch-to-Node and Switch-to-Switch link types. They also define whether a switch is a subnet manager for the network or not. Switch statistics are also covered.

Aggregate Sensors

This metric collection is not initiated by the agent. The IB switch pushes information to the agent through SNMP trap mechanism. It works only when the agent subscribes for SNMP traps. Note that this metric is used only for generating alerts. No data is uploaded to repository. The All Metrics page will not show any data for this metric.

Alarm Status

Indicates whether severity is set or cleared (Major/Cleared).
