.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBset_nodedesc.sh\fR utility can be used to set or view  Node description
strings for \fBInfiniBand(IB)\fR Host Controller \fBAdapters(HCA)\fR. The node
description string can consist of two parts :

	1. Node Description String common to all HCAs.
.br
	2. Node Description String specific to an HCA.
.sp
The complete Node Description string will be :
.sp
	<CommonNodeDescriptionString><HCANodeDescriptionString>
.sp
The common Node Description String is used if no HCA specific Node descr-
iption string is set. The Node Descriptor string from the HCA firmware
will be used if common node descriptor is not set.
.sp
\fBset_nodedesc.sh\fR called without arguments, sets the common node descriptor
string to the \fBhostname\fR(1M) of the system. The common Node descriptor string
can be set to a string other than the \fBhostname\fR(1M) using the -N option.
.sp
The HCA specific Node Description String can be set using the -H and -G
option. The Global Unique IDentifier (GUID) specified with -G identifies
the HCA to set the HCA specific Node Description string.  The options
-H and -G can be combined together with -N, to specify the common Node
description String.
.sp
The -v option can be used to view the Node descriptors for all HCAs on the
system.
