NAME¶

opaportconfig

(Host or Switch) Controls the configuration and state of a specified Intel(R) Omni-Path Host Fabric Interface (HFI) port on the local host or a remote switch.

NOTE: This tool is designed for expert users only. Non-expert users should use other tools such as opaenableports, opadisableports and opaportinfo for basic functionality.

Syntax¶

opaportconfig [-l lid [-m dest_port]] [-h hfi] [-p port] [-r secs] [-z]

[-S state] [-P physstate] [-s speed] [-w width] [-c LTPCRC] [-v] [-x]
[-L lid] [< sub command>]

Options¶

--help

Produces full help text.

-l lid

Specifies the destination LID. Default is local port.

-m dest_port

Specifies the destination port. Default is port with given LID. Used to access switch ports.

-h hfi

Specifies the HFI to send through/to. Default is first HFI.

-p port

Specifies the port to send through/to. Default is first port.

sub command

Specifies the one of the following choices:

Configuration Options¶

-r secs

Repeats to keep the port down for the specified amount of seconds.

-S state

Specifies the new state. Default is 0.

-P physstate

Specifies the new physical state. Default is 0.

NOTE: All transitions are valid.

-s speed

Specifies the new link speeds enabled. Default is 0. To enable multiple speeds, use the sum of the desired speeds.

-w width

Specifies the new link widths enabled. Default is 0. To enable multiple widths, use sum of desired widths.

-c LTPCRC

Specifies the new LTP CRCs enabled. Default is 0.
To enable multiple LTP CRCs, use sum of desired LTP CRCs.

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

-h 0

First active port in system (Default).

-h 0 -p 0

First active port in system.

-h x

First active port on HFI x.

-h x -p 0

First active port on HFI x.

-h 0 -p y

Port y within system (no matter which ports are active).

-h x -p y

HFI x, port y.

Debug Options¶

-v

Verbose output. Additional invocations turn on debugging, openib debugging, and libibumad debugging.

-z

Does not get port information first; clears most port attributes.

-L lid

Sets PortInfo.LID = lid.

Examples¶

opaportconfig -w 1

opaportconfig -p 1 -h 2 -w 3

Description¶

Port configuration is transient in nature. If the given host is rebooted or its Intel(R) Omni-Path Fabric Stack is restarted, the port reverts to its default configuration and state. Typically, the default state is to have the port enabled with all speeds and widths supported by the given HFI port.

To access switch ports using this command, the -l and -m options must be given. The -l option specifies the lid of switch port 0 (the logical management port for the switch) and -m specifies the actual switch port to access.

NOTE: The /etc/init.d/opaportconfig script is provided as an example of changing port speed every time the server boots. This script can be edited, then scheduled, using chkconfig to control link settings on any set of HFI ports.

CAUTION: When using this command to disable or reconfigure switch ports, if the final port in the path between the Fabric Management Node and the switch is disabled or fails to come online, then opaenableports is not able to reenable it. In this case, the switch CLI and/or a switch reboot may be needed to correct the situation.
