Abstract: A system and method can support subnet management in a network environment, such as an engineered system for middleware and application execution or a middleware machine environment. The system can associate a subnet administrator (SA) in a subnet with one or more SA proxies. Furthermore, said one or more SA proxies can receive one or more requests from one or more client nodes. Then, said SA can handle said one or more requests, which are forwarded from said one or more SA proxies. Additionally, a dedicated queue pair (QP) number can be allocated for each client node, so that there is no need for always sending an initial request to a pre-defined well-known QP number.

Abstract: A system and method can support controlled and secure firmware upgrade in a middleware machine environment. The system can provide a boot image of an operating system (OS) in a host node, wherein the host node connects to a shared resource, such as a network fabric, via an input/out (I/O) device. The boot image can receive at least one of a firmware image and a firmware update from the host node, and upgrade firmware in the I/O device associated with the host node. Furthermore, the host-based firmware upgrade can be based on a special boot image that is prevented from accessing local information on the host node, or a normal boot image that is prevented from controlling the I/O device.

Abstract: A system and method for supporting load balancing in a multi-tenant cluster environment, in accordance with an embodiment. One or more tenants can be supported and each associated with a partition, which are each in turn associated with one or more end nodes. The method can provide a plurality of switches, the plurality of switches comprising a plurality of leaf switches and at least one switch at another level, wherein each of the plurality of switches comprise at least one port. The method can assign each node a weight parameter, and based upon this parameter, the method can route the plurality of end nodes within the multi-tenant cluster environment, wherein the routing attempts to preserve partition isolation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for supporting efficient load balancing among a plurality of switches and a plurality of end nodes arranged in a tree topology in a network environment. The methods and systems can sort the plurality of end nodes, wherein the plurality of end nodes are sorted in a decreasing order of a receive weight. The method and system may further route, in the decreasing order of receive weights, the plurality of end nodes, wherein the routing comprises selecting at least one down-going port and at least one up-going port. Further, the method and system can increase an accumulated downward weight on each selected down-going port by the receive weight of the routed end node, and increase an accumulated upward weight on each selected up-going port by the receive weight of the routed end node.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for supporting efficient reconfiguration of an interconnection network having a pre-existing routing. An exemplary method can provide a plurality of switches, a plurality of end nodes, and one or more subnet managers, including a master subnet manager. The method can calculate, via the master subnet manager, a first set of one or more leaf-switch to leaf-switch multipaths. The method can store this first set of one or more leaf-switch to leaf-switch multipaths at a metabase. The method can detect a reconfiguration triggering event, and call a new routing for the interconnection network. Finally, the method can reconfigure the network according to the new routing for the interconnection network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using queue pair 1 (QP1) for receiving multicast based announcements in multiple partitions in a high performance computing. In accordance with an embodiment, by extending the scope of QP1 to also include receiving and sending multicast packets in any partition defined for the port, it is possible to implement generic MC based announcement and discovery without requiring the complexity of unique QPs for individual partitions, nor any update of QP configuration as a consequence of change of partition membership.

Abstract: Systems and methods for multicast send duplication instead of replication in a high performance computing environment. A method can provide a plurality of switches, a plurality of hosts, the plurality of hosts being interconnected via the plurality of switches, wherein a host of the plurality of hosts comprises a multicast sender node, the sender node comprising a system image generation module and a current message sequence module. The method can organize the plurality of switches into two rails, the two or more rails providing redundant connectivity between the plurality of hosts. The method can send two or more duplicate multicast packets on different rails. Upon a receiving node receiving at least two versions of the same multicast packet, only one will be delivered to the communication stack/clients above the layer that handles the encapsulation header.
