NOTE: In the examples that follow, user details, cluster names, hostnames, directory paths, filenames, etc. represent a fictitious sample (and are used to provide an illustrative example only).

The bdacheckib utility looks for lowercase switch names like bda-01sw-ib1 as per the output below.  However in the case here, the switch names were entered into the BDA Configuration Utility in uppercase like BDA-01sw-ib1. The uppercase names show in the BDA Install Review page.

[root@bdanode01 bda]# bdacheckib
bdacheckibx: entry for switch  bda-01sw-ib1 not found in iblinkinfo output
bdacheckibx: entry for switch  bda-01sw-ib2 not found in iblinkinfo output
bdacheckibx: entry for switch  bda-01sw-ib3 not found in iblinkinfo output
bdacheckib:  out of 0 servers of interest accessible

You can verify the uppercase switch names with the iblinkinfo output below:

[root@bdanode01 bda]# iblinkinfo
