Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 Specifications
Switch Architecture
• Fully nonblocking architecture
• 36 ports supporting QDR/dual data rate/single data rate IB
• Embedded management module for IB subnet management—provides IPMI and “shelf management”
• Redundant power and cooling
• LED indication of physical and logical link status
Interconnect System
• Thirty-six 4x ports using standard QSFP connectors
• Supporting passive copper cables up to 5 m and active cables beyond 5 m
• Cable serial number in NVRAM readable by the embedded management module
• Cable insertion detection
Switch Specifications
• Data throughput: 2.3 Tb/sec (bidirectional)
• Port-to-port latency: 100 ns QDR
• Data virtual lanes: Eight
• Management virtual lanes: One
• MTU: 4,096 bytes
High-Availability Features
• Redundant power supplies and fans
• Embedded IB management module enabled for redundant fabric management
• Logical network isolation—enables creation of isolated “virtual clusters” that are supported by the same switch
• Support for traffic isolation and QoS management
• “Hitless” IB management failover—supports active/hot-standby dual-manager configuration
Management Capabilities
• Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) chassis management platform
• Monitors all critical chassis functions
• Supported management protocols: IPMIv1.5/v2.0, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, SSH, HTTP/HTTPS, syslog
• Connectors: Two 100Base-T Ethernet; one USB port
