Abstract: A system and method can ensure Internet Protocol (IP) address and node name consistency when performing remote transactions via multiple un-related IP addresses for the same remote peer. The system can ensure that all cooperating peer nodes are in full agreement of the names and IP addresses at any point in time. In particular, when network configurations can be updated dynamically, the system can ensure that such updates do not lead to inconsistent or failed transactions because a peer node has a stale view of what addresses to use. Furthermore, the peer node that initiates the transaction can verify that all the other peer nodes have exactly the same view of the overall system configuration, in order to ensure that each distributed transaction is carried out using consistent address information.

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. A subnet manager (SM) can retrieve information for setting up a reliable connection (RC) between a subnet administrator (SA) and a client node in a subnet. Furthermore, the system can set up one or more connection states for a port associated with the SM node to establish the RC connection between the port associated with the SM node and a port associated with said client node. Then, the SM can activate the port associated with said client node.

Abstract: A system and method can support subnet management in a network environment. One or more inactivated switches can be included in a subnet, wherein each of the inactivated switches is associated with an empty set of known secret keys. A subnet manager (SM) in a dry-run mode can perform one or more dry-run operations on the one or more inactivated switches, before activating the one or more inactivated switches.

Abstract: System and method for supporting scalable representation of switch port status in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a scalable representation of switch port status can be provided. By adding a scalable representation of switch port status at each switch (both physical and virtual)—instead of getting all switch port changes individually, the scalable representation of switch port status can combine a number of ports that can scale by just using a few bits of information for each port's status.

Abstract: Systems and methods for InfiniBand fabric optimizations to minimize SA access and startup failover times. A system can comprise one or more microprocessors, a first subnet, the first subnet comprising a plurality of switches, a plurality of host channel adapters, a plurality of hosts, and a subnet manager, the subnet manager running on one of the one or more switches and the plurality of host channel adapters. The subnet manager can be configured to determine that the plurality of hosts and the plurality of switches support a same set of capabilities. On such determination, the subnet manager can configure an SMA flag, the flag indicating that a condition can be set for each of the host channel adapter ports.

Abstract: System and method for representing performance management agent (PMA) attributes as subnet management agent (SMA) attributes in a high performance computing environment. In general legacy systems, performance metrics, as collected by a performance management agent, can only be collected via the use of general data packets traversing a subnet. In accordance with an embodiment, by configuring a SMA attribute to comprise the same performance metrics as collected by a PMA, a subnet manager, or another management component, can access the performance metrics in-band via the use of a subnet management packet.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing dual multicast local identifiers (MLIDs) per multicast group to facilitate both full and limited partition members in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, in order to avoid the need for the above special handling of P_Key access violations, as well as to ensure complete isolation between limited partition members in terms of multicast traffic, two MLIDs can be allocated to a single MCG, in accordance with an embodiment. A first MLID can be allocated and used by end-ports for sending from full partition members to both full and limited partition members. Additionally, a second MLID can be allocated and used by end-ports for sending from limited partition members to full partition members. Using this scheme, a limited partition member can avoid sending multicast packets to other limited partition members in the MCG.

Abstract: Systems and methods to use all incoming multicast (MC) packets as a basis for global unique identifier (GUID) to local identifier (LID) cache contents in a high performance computing environment, in accordance with an embodiment. Since all multicast packets have a Global Route Header (GRH), there is always both a source GID and a source LID defined for an incoming multicast packet. This implies that it is, in general, possible for an HCA implementation to gather information about GID and GUID to LID mappings for any sender node based on all incoming MC packets.
