💖 opaextractsellinks — the IFSFFCLIRG (Man Page) glow-up 💖

okay bestie, so you know how you need a spreadsheet of every link in your fabric?? this is that. opaextractsellinks spits out a CSV file listing all or some of the links in the fabric, and it's literally a front end to the opareport tool. the output can get imported into a spreadsheet or parsed by other scripts. so versatile. so iconic. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

opaextractsellinks

Produces a CSV file listing all or some of the links in the fabric. opaextractsellinks is a front end to the opareport tool. The output from this tool can be imported into a spreadsheet or parsed by other scripts.

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

opaextractsellinks [opareport  options]

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --help — produces full help text, like a little map of everything. 🗺️

🌸 opareport options 🌸

The following options are passed to opareport. This subset is considered typical and useful for this command. By design, the tool ignores the -o/--output report option. (yes, ignores it. it said what it said. 🙈)

• -h/--hfi hfi — Specifies the HFI, numbered 1..n. Using 0 specifies that the -p port port is a system-wide port number. Default is 0.
• -p/--port port — Specifies the port, numbered 1..n. Using 0 specifies the first active port. Default is 0.
• -X/--infile snapshot_input — Generates a report using the data in the snapshot_input file. snapshot_input must have been generated during a previous -o snapshot run. When used, the -s, -i, -C, and -a options are ignored. '-' may be used as the snapshot_input to specify stdin.
• -T/--topology topology_input — Uses topology_input file to augment and verify fabric information. When used, various reports can be augmented with information not available electronically (such as cable labels). '-' may be used to specify stdin.
• -F/--focus point — Specifies the focus area for report. Used for all reports except route to limit scope of report. Refer to Point Syntax for details.

💜 h and p options permit a variety of selections 💜

like, a whole buffet of selections. pick your fave:

• -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.

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

the moment you've all been waiting for 🫶

# List all the links in the fabric:

opaextractsellinks

# List all the links to a switch named "coresw1":

opaextractsellinks -F "node:coresw1"

# List all the connections to end-nodes:

opaextractsellinks -F "nodetype:FI"

# List all the links on the 2nd HFI's fabric of a multi-plane fabric:

opaextractsellinks -h 2

💀 heads up bestie: opaextractsellinks ignores -o/--output by design. that's just the vibe. don't fight it.
