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.

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.

Syntax

       opacapture [-d  detail]  output_tgz_file
