1 1 Introducing the InfiniBand System This chapter gives an overview of the following: • “About the HP 24-Port 4x Fabric Copp er Switch User Guide” on page 1 • “Maximize Server Networks” o.
2 What is InfiniBand? InfiniBand (IB) is a high speed, h igh density seri al interconnect that incr eases CPU utilization, decreases latency , and eases the management pain of data centers . The term “InfiniBand” refers to the entire hard ware, communication , and management infrastructure.
3 devices. This protocol allows InfiniBan d hosts to natively send SCSI commands as if the storage was direct attached. The SRP protocol is designed to operate using an RDMA com munication service.
4 The Queue Pair (QP) is one of the primary architectural elements of InfiniBand. In InfiniBand, communication occurs between Queue Pairs, instead of between ports. A Queue Pair (QP) in an addressable entity , and consists of two W ork Queues: 1). Send W ork Queue and a 2).
5 • Local Identifiers (LIDs) • Global Unique Identifier (GUIDs) • Partition Key (P_Keys) • Configur es switch forwardi ng tables. • Receives traps from Subnet Management Agents (SMAs ). • Sweeps the subnet, discovering topolo gy change s and managing changes as nodes are added and deleted.
6 • Routing internally within a sw itch (hops between switch chips) • Routing between whole switch es (hops between nodes). This is also referred to as routing between “switch elements.
7 Determine the First Path that will be Discovered The SM Routing Algorithm selects th e first best path that it finds. If multiple paths with the same properties are available then the first of these paths found is the one that is selected.

9 2 Getting S t arted The information in this chapter focuses on the softwa re and firmware aspect s of the initial set-up, and assumes that you have additional documen tation for the hardware. This chapter provides the following informati on: • Overview of entire system installation on page 9 , wi th references to more detailed info rmation.
10 Inst all HCAs and Drivers in Host s Refer to the HP Dual-port 4x Fabric Ad apter Quick Setup Installation card and the HP Dual-port 4x Fabric Adapter User Guide .
11 6. Set the IP address and netmask. Th e following addre ss is an example. 7. Set the default gateway address. This address is an example. 8. Enable the management port 9. T est IP connectivit y by pinging the managemen t station. 10. Y ou must save th e configuration persisten tly by using the copy command.
12 T o login vi a SSH: 1. Use an SSH client (e.g. P utty) to port 22. Configuring an InfiniBand Management IP Address T o configure an In -band InfiniBand management IP address: 1. At the Login: prompt, enter the username and password. The default is super and super .
13 T o assign a hostn ame name to the management port: 1. Start a CLI session. 2. Enter the privileged-user mode. 3. Enter the global-configuration mode. 4. Enter the hostname command with the name you wish to assign. The hostname command assigns a convenient name to the system that shows up at the CLI prompt.
14 V erify Switch to Host Communication T o verify the InfiniBand device can reach a host on the network, enter either the user -execute or privileged-execute mode on the InfiniBand device, th en enter the ping command. This is an In-band procedure only .
15 T o ru n the CLI remotely: 1. Open a terminal or terminal emulator window . For example: from the comma nd line, enter the telnet command with the IP addre ss, or network name, of the Management-Ethernet port. The CLI login prompt ( Login: ) is displayed.
16 Create a Partition ID (P_Key) A default partition is configured autom atically . The me mbers of a default partit ion include all connected ports, and provide full membership. Ho wever , to creat e separation between traffic, you must configure specific partitions.
17 S pecify Partition Members and the Membership T ype b. Click on the new Partition in the left window . The available partition members ap pear in the right-side window . Note that the “A vailable Members” refers only to members that are known to the Subnet Manager .
18 • Fibre Channel gateways. f. If you have multiple InfiniBan d switches in your fabric: • Exchange the partition configurati on between switches by enablin g database synchronization, if you have not already don e so. Refer to “En able/Disable Database Synchronization” on page 84 .
19 3 Underst anding the Management Options This chapter gives an overview of the following system Management options: The CLI • “About the CLI” on page 19 • “Using the CLI” on page 21 The .
20 • Multiple Comm and Modes Example Underst anding the Command Modes The CLI has four command modes • user-execute mode (read-only) • privileged-execute mode • global-configuration mode • sub-command mode The commands you can enter depend upon the current command mode and who you log in as.
21 Sub-Command Mode The final mode is sub-command mod e. Anything to do with InfiniBand, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel interface cards, ports, and gateways is done in this mode, including the Management-Ethernet ports. This mode is used to assign IP addresses to interface gateway ports, set connection speeds, set connection types, etc.
22 For example: In the preceding example, srp- is short for srp-global , gate is short for gateway-portmask- pol , and res is short for restricted . Note: Command completio n only works for commands; it is not effective for keywords. Displaying Command History The T opspin sy stem “remembers” the last 40 comm ands you enter .
23 T o set the number of lin es displayed on the terminal screen to 67 lines at a time and raise the tim e-out limit to 60 minutes 1. Enter the user -execute or privileged-execute mode. 2. Enter the terminal command with the length parameter and the number of lines to display p er page.
24 Quick Help Y ou can ente r the question mark (?) at the CLI prom pt to display on e of three types of user information. 1. Enter a question mark ( ? ) at the CLI prompt at any tim e to display the commands you can execute. Only the commands appropriate to the cu rrent mode and user login are displayed.
25 The Chassis Window Once you log into the Element Manager, the chassis window is displayed. This is the primary window in which you work. It graphically depicts the curren t configuration of the attached InfiniBand system chassis.
