👑 opaledports — the glow-up your data center deserves

okay so bestie, real talk: this is opaledports from the IFSFFCLIRG manual page (section 8, she's a sysadmin icon 💅). Think of her as the flashlight of the fabric world.

✨ NAME ✨

opaledports

She toggles the beaconing LED state of HFIs, switches, and switch ports. 💡

Fr fr, opaledports is a genuinely useful aid for finding specific physical nodes in a crowded data center. Picture it: forty racks, zero vibes, and you need that one node. Blink blink, found her. ✨

She also supports the CSV link format provided by opaextractsellinks. No cap. 🫶

🦋 Syntax 🦋

opaledports [-h hfi] [-p port] [-C] [-s|-d] [on|off] < portlist.csv

💖 Options 💖

  • --help — Produces full help text. She will tell you everything, and she will not be brief. 👑
  • -h 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 — Specifies the port, numbered 1..n. Using 0 specifies the first active port. Default is 0.
  • -C — Clears beaconing LED on all ports. Just all of them. Every single one. 🧹
⚠️ NOTE: If -C is entered, no other options are valid. Like, none. Don't try it. She said what she said. 💀
  • -s — Affects source side (first node) of link only. Source girlies only. 🌸
  • -d — Affects destination side (second node) of link only. Destination girlies only. 🦋
  • on|off — Turns on or off the beaconing LED. Options include:
    • on — Turns on beaconing LED. ✨
    • off — Turns off beaconing LED. 😴
  • portlist.csv — Specifies the file listing the links to process. The list is of the form:
NodeGUID;PortNum;NodeType;NodeDesc;NodeGUID;PortNum;NodeType;NodeDesc;Dontcare

🌈 Examples 🌈

okay these are the moves, copy them exactly, character for character, no edits bestie 🎀

echo "0x001175010165ac1d;1;FI;phkpstl035 hfi1_0"|opaledports on
opaledports on < portlist.csv
opaextractsellinks -F led:on | opaledports off
opaledports -C
lowkey the pipeline example? iconic. she's eating. 🔥
