## Other Information

opareport also supports operation with the Fabric Manager Performance Manager (PM)/Performance Manager Agent (PMA). When opareport detects the presence of a PM, it automatically issues any required PortCounter queries and clears to the PM to access the PMs running totals. If a PM is not detected, then opareport directly accesses the PMAs on all the nodes. The -M option can force access to the PMA even if a PM is present.

opareport takes advantage of these interfaces to obtain extensive information about the fabric from the subnet manager and the end nodes. Using this information, opareport is able to cross-reference it and produce analysis greatly beyond what any single subnet manager request could provide. As such, it exceeds the capabilities previously available in tools such as opasaquery and opafabricinfo.

opareport obtains and displays counters from the Fabric Manager PM/PA or directly from the fabric PMAs using the -M option.

opareport internally cross-references all this information so its output can be in user-friendly form. Reports include GUIDs, LIDs, and names for components. Obviously, these reports are easiest to read if the end user has taken the time to provide unique names for all the components in the fabric (node names and IOC names). All Intel components support this capability. For hosts, the node names are automatically assigned based on the network host name of the server. For switches and line cards, the names can be assigned using the element managers for each component.

Each run of opareport obtains up-to-date information from the fabric. At the start of the run opareport takes a few seconds to obtain all the fabric data, then it is output to stdout. The reports are sorted by GUIDs and other permanent information so they can be rerun in the future and produce output in the same order even if components have been rebooted. This is useful for comparison using simple tools like diff. opareport permits multiple reports to be requested for a single run (for example, one of each report type).

By default, opareport uses the first active port on the local system. However, if the Management Node is connected to more than one fabric (for example, a subnet), the Intel(R) Omni-Path Host Fabric Interface (HFI) and port may be specified to select the fabric to analyze.
