opagenswitches
Analyzes the present fabric and produces a list of Externally
Managed switches in the required format for the /etc/opa/switches file.
opagenswitches [-t portsfile] [-p ports] [-R] [-L switches_file]
[-o output_file] [-T topology_file] [-X snapshot_file] [-s] [-v level]
[-K]
- --help
- Produces full help text.
- -t portsfile
- Specifies the file with list of local HFI ports used to access fabric(s)
for analysis.
Default is /etc/opa/ports file.
- -p ports
- Specifies the list of local HFI ports used to access fabrics for counter
clear.
- Default is first active port. The first HFI in the system is 1. The first
port on an HFI is 1. Uses the format hfi:port,
for example:
0:0 First active port in system.
0:y Port y within system.
x:0 First active port on HFI x.
- -R
- Does not attempt to get routes for computation of distance.
- -s
- Updates/resolves switch names using topology XML data.
- -L switches_file
- Specifies the name of a pre-existing switches_file to be used as
input in conjunction with a topology file. When specified, the file is
used instead of switches data obtained from the actual fabric. The updated
switches data is output to stdout (common to all opagenswitches
operations). Does not generate switches data. Must also use -s option.
- -o output_file
- Writes switches data to output_file. Default is stdout.
- -T topology_file
- Specifies topology_file to use. May contain '%P' . Must also use
-s.
- Link data in the topology file is compared to actual fabric link data
(obtained by opareport -o links or opareport -X snapshot -o links). The
data is also matched to a list of switch node GUIDs and the switch
NodeDesc values are generated. This list is then applied to the switches
data to update NodeDesc values. The comparison of topology link data to
actual fabric link data starts with the host names. The host names in the
actual fabric must match those in the topology file for the comparison to
succeed. However, the comparison logic allows for some mismatches, which
could be due to swapped or missing cables. Switch NodeDesc values are
matched to GUIDs based on which switch has the greater number of matching
links.
- -X snapshot_file
- Uses snapshot_file XML for fabric link information.
May contain '%P' . Must also use -s.
- -v level
- Specifies the verbose level. Default is 0. Values include:
- -K
- Does not clean temporary files. Temporary files are CSV format and contain
lists of links used during script operation. The files are not normally
needed after execution, but they can be retained for subsequent inspection
or processing.
The following environment variables are also used by this
command:
- PORTS
- List of ports, used in absence of -t and -p.
- PORTS_FILE
- File containing list of ports, used in absence of -t and -p.
- FF_TOPOLOGY_FILE
- File containing topology XML data, used in absence of -T.
