NAME¶

opagentopology

Provides a simple sample of how to generate the topology XML file used for topology verification. Customers who wish to integrate topology XML file generation into their cluster design process can create their own script to take information available in other formats and tools and produce the topology XML file directly. The alternative is to use opaxlattopology and have tools generate the input files it expects.

This tool uses CSV input files opatopology_links.txt, opatopology_FIs.txt, and opatopology_SWs.txt to generate LinkSummary, Node FIs, and Node SWs information, respectively. These files are samples of what might be produced as part of translating a user custom file format into temporary intermediate CSV files.

LinkSummary information includes Link, Cable, and Port information. Note that opagentopology (not opaxmlgenerate) generates the XML version string as well as the <Topology> and <LinkSummary> lines. Also note that the indent level is at the default value of zero (0). The portions of the script that call opaxmlgenerate follow:

opaxmlgenerate -X /usr/share/opa/samples/opatopology_1.txt -d ;
-h Link -g Rate -g Rate_Int -g MTU -g LinkDetails -h Cable
-g CableLength -g CableLabel -g CableDetails -e Cable -h Port
-g NodeGUID -g PortNum -g NodeDesc -g PortGUID

-g NodeType -g NodeType_Int -g PortDetails -e Port -h Port -g NodeGUID -g PortNum

-g NodeDesc -g PortGUID -g NodeType -g NodeType_Int -g PortDetails -e Port
-e Link

opaxmlgenerate -X /usr/share/opa/samples/opatopology_2.txt -d ;

-h Node -g NodeGUID -g NodeDesc -g NodeDetails -g HostName -g NodeType

-g NodeType_Int -g NumPorts -e Node

Options¶

No option

Produces sample output. See Example

--help

Produces full help text.

opatopology_links.txt¶

This file can be found in /usr/share/opa/samples/. For brevity, this sample shows only two links. The second link shows an example of omitting some information. In the second line, the MTU, LinkDetails, and other fields are not present, which is indicated by an empty value for the field (no entry between the semicolon delimiters).

NOTE: The following example exceeds the available width of the page. For readability, a blank line is shown between lines to make it clear where the line ends. In an actual link file, no blank lines are used.
