NAME
opacapture
(Host) Captures critical system information into a zipped tar file. The resulting tar file should be sent
to Customer Support along with any Intel(R) Omni-Path Fabric problem report regarding this system.
NOTE: The resulting host capture file can require significant amounts of space on the host. The actual
size varies, but sizes can be multiple megabytes. Intel recommends ensuring that adequate disk space is
available on the host system.
Syntax
opacapture [-d detail] output_tgz_file
Options
--help Produces full help text.
-d detail Captures level of detail:
1 (Local) Obtains local information from host. This is the default if no options are entered.
2 (Fabric)
In addition to Local, also obtains basic fabric information by queries to the SM and
fabric error analysis using opareport.
3 (Fabric+FDB)
In addition to Fabric, also obtains the Forwarding Database (FDB), which includes the
switch forwarding tables from the SM and the server multicast membership.
4 (Analysis)
In addition to Fabric+FDB, also obtains opaallanalysis results. If opaallanalysis has
not yet been run, it is run as part of the capture.
NOTE:
Detail levels 2 - 4 can be used when fabric operational problems occur. If the problem is node-
specific, detail level 1 should be sufficient. Detail levels 2 - 4 require an operational Fabric
Manager. Typically your support representative requests a given detail level. If a given detail
level takes excessively long or fails to be gathered, try a lower detail level.
For detail levels 2 - 4, the additional information is only available on a node with Intel(R) Omni-Path
Fabric Suite FastFabric Toolset installed. The information is gathered for every fabric specified in the
/etc/opa/ports file.
output_tgz_file
Specifies the name of a file to be created by opacapture. The file name specified is
overwritten if it already exists. Intel recommends using the .tgz suffix in the file name
supplied. If the filename given does not have a .tgz suffix, the .tgz suffix is added.
Examples
opacapture mycapture.tgz
opacapture -d 3 030127capture.tgz
