InfiniBand Support

    InfiniBand is supported with IP and Ethernet.

  • InfiniBand is supported with Internet Protocol over InfiniBand (IPoIB) for both cluster interconnect and public networking.

  • InfiniBand is also supported with Ethernet over InfiniBand (EoIB) for public networking. EoIB uses the Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switch (X2826A-Z) based VNICs.

Note -  You must create separate InfiniBand partitions on the InfiniBand switches for public networks and for both private cluster networks. So, you need two separate partitions for the two cluster interconnects, and one partition for the public network, if you use a public network.

InfiniBand host channel adapters (HCAs) are cabled to InfiniBand switches. Directly cabling HCAs between two cluster nodes is not supported.
