HPE InfiniBand Options for Integrity Servers: технические характеристики и документация

InfiniBand Options for Integrity Servers

Hewlett Packard Enterprise supports 40Gbps 4x Quad Data Rate (QDR) and 20Gbps 4X Double Data Rate (DDR) InfiniBand products that include Host Channel Adapters (HCA), switches, and cables for HPE Integrity servers.

For details on the InfiniBand support for HPE Integrity Server Blades BladeSystem c-Class and server blades, please refer to QuickSpecs at: https://www.hpe.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04154382

The following InfiniBand products based on Mellanox technologies are available from Hewlett Packard Enterprise

• HPE Integrity PCIe 2-port 4X QDR IB HCA
• HPE Integrity PCIe 2-port 4X DDR IB HCA
  
  

The HPE Integrity PCIe 2-port 4X QDR IB HCA is based on the Mellanox ConnectX-2 IB technology. The Mellanox ConnectX-2 InfiniBand technology delivers low-latency and high-bandwidth for performance-driven server and storage clustering applications in High-Performance Computing (HPC), and enterprise data centers. Parallelized HPC applications, clustered data bases, and latency and bandwidth sensitive transactional services will achieve significant performance improvements resulting in reduced completion time and lower cost per operation.

An InfiniBand fabric is constructed with one or more InfiniBand switches connected via inter-switch links. The most commonly deployed fabric topology is a fat tree or its variations. A subnet manager is required to manage an InfiniBand fabric. The following InfiniBand products based on Voltaire technologies have been tested by Hewlett Packard Enterprise:

• Voltaire IB 4X QDR 36-port switch
• Voltaire IB 4X DDR 96- port director switches

What's New

• Support of QSFP copper cables (1M, 2M, 3M, 5M).
• Support of HPE Integrity PCIe 2-port 4X QDR IB HCA on HPE Integrity Superdome 2.

NOTE: Please consult your HPC expert for information on other switches.
NOTE: Please refer to the Support Matrix and Install Guide for instructions on installing Subnet manager on HP-UX.

Bandwidth

4X QDR ports on 4X QDR HCA cards and switches run at 40 Gbps signaling rate, with a peak data rate of 32 Gbps each direction, 4X DDR ports on 4X DDR HCA cards and switches run at 20 Gbps signaling rate, with a peak data rate of 16 Gbps each direction.

Operating systems support

HP-UX 11iv3

Auto-negotiation/
self-discovery

InfiniBand QDR ports support auto-negotiation down to DDR. InfiniBand DDR ports support auto-negotiation down to SDR. For example, external uplink ports of a DDR switch blade will negotiate down to SDR speed if they are connected to a device which can only operate at SDR.

Self-discovery is supported by subnet manager.
