Name

opasaquery — Performs various queries of the subnet manager/subnet agent and provides detailed fabric information.

Syntax

opasaquery [-v] [-I] [-h hfi|-b addr] [-p port] [--timeout] [-x src_gid] [-E feEsm] [-T ssl_params] [-l lid] [-t nodetype] [-s guid] [-n guid] [-g guid] [-k pkey] [-i vfIndex] [-S serviceId] [-L sl] [-u gid] [-m gid] [-d desc_name] [-D dg_name] [-P 'guid guid'] [-G 'gid gid'] [-H 'mask'] [-o type]

Description

opareport and opareports from OPX Software can provide a more powerful tool. In some cases, opasaquery is preferred, especially when dealing with virtual fabrics, service records, and multicast.

By default, opasaquery uses the first active port on the local system. However, if the node is connected to more than one fabric (for example, a subnet), the SuperNIC and port may be specified to select the fabric whose SA is to be queried.

Options

--help

Produces full help text.

-v/--verbose

Returns verbose output. A second invocation activates openib debugging, a third invocation activates libibumad debugging.

-I/--IB

Issues query in legacy InfiniBand format.

-h/--hfi hfi

Specifies the SuperNIC, numbered 1..n. Using 0 specifies that the -p port port is a system-wide port number. Default is 0.

-b/--oob address

Specifies Out-of-Band address of node running the FE. Can be either hostname, IPv4, or IPv6 address. Default is "127.0.0.1".

-p/--port port

Specifies the port.

  • In-band: Numbered 1..n. Using 0 specifies first active port. Default is 0.

  • Out-of-band: Port FE is listening on. Default is 3245.

--timeout

Specifies the timeout (wait time for response) in ms. Default is 1000 ms.

-x/--source-gid src_gid

Specifies the source GID of the local GID. This is required for most Path and Trace Record Queries when Out-of-Band.

-E/--feEsm

-o type

Output type for query. Default is node. See for details.

-h and -p options permit a variety of selections:

-h 0

First active port in the system (Default).

-h 0 -p 0

First active port in the system.

-h x

First active port on SuperNIC x.

-h x -p 0

Node Types

Fabric Interface

sw

Switch

GIDs

Specifies a 64-bit subnet and 64-bit interface ID in the form:

subnet:interface

Note

In the following example, the GID corresponds to a PortGID. In this case, the interface ID coincides with the lower 64-bits of the GUID of the card. The interface ID will be different if the GID is a multicast GID (MGID). See opafm.xml for MGID examples.

0xfe80000000000000:0x00117500a0000380

The vfinfocsv and vfinfocsv2 output formats are designed to make it easier to script vfinfo queries. One line is output per vFabric of the form:

name:index:pkey:sl:mtu:rate:optionflag::mcastSl

The only difference between these two formats is how the MTU and rate are output. vfinfocsv outputs MTU and rate in human/text readable format. vfinfocsv2 outputs MTU and rate as enumerations defined for the SMA protocol. The opagetvf command is based on this capability of opasaquery. For more information, see .

Example

opasaquery -o desc -t fi

Subnet Administrator/Administration

Fabric Executive - This is an Omni-Path component that provides out-of-band access to the Fabric Manager.

Group Identifier - This is a unique identifier assigned to a group of users on a system, allowing them to access files and directories with common permissions.

Embedded Subnet Manager - This is a centralized entity running in a managed switch that uses a switch port to access and manage the fabric for fabrics consisting of 100 SuperNIC ports or less.

Secure Socket Layer - This is a protocol for establishing secure links between networked computers

Transport Layer Security - This cryptographic protocol is designed to provide communications security over a computer network.

Local Identifier - This is a 24-bit address local to a subnet that is assigned to end nodes by the subnet manager, providing additional features related to routing algorithms.

Globally Unique Identifier - This is a 128-bit text string generated when a unique reference number is needed to identify a component (for example, hardware, software, node) on a computer or network.

Partition Key - This is a unique ID assigned to an InfiniBand or vFabric partition.

Multicast Group Identifier - This ID number maps multicast source, the multicast address, and the VLAN.

Subnet Manager or Subnet Management

Service Channel

Service Level

Forwarding Database - This table is used by a Layer 2 device (switch/bridge) to store MAC addresses and ports so that data packets can be forwarded to the correct destination.

Adaptive Routing (also called Dynamic Routing) - This technique uses algorithms to send data packets along the best routes, reading and responding to changes in network topology.
