Abstract: System and method for providing an InfiniBand network device having a vendor-specific attribute that contains a signature of the vendor. An exemplary embodiment can provide an InfiniBand compatible network device from a vendor. The vendor can further define a subnet management attribute, where the subnet management attribute has an attribute identifier in the range of attribute identifiers reserved in the InfiniBand specification. The vendor can define a signature bit string that is a fixed number of bits in length and a number of offset bits, where the number of offset bits indicates the start of the signature bit string within the attribute. The subnet management attribute can be configured with the signature bit string starting where the offset bits indicate, and the subnet management attribute can be included as an attribute of the InfiniBand compatible network device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for InfiniBand fabric optimizations to minimize SA access and startup failover times. Based on the combination of path record parameters defined with values from the Homogeneous Fabric/Subnet flag (or configuration parameter), as well as the GID and SLID information defined by IPoIB ARP requests and responses, there is no additional need for SA requests to obtain path records or path related information in general.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing multicast group multicast local identifier (MLID) dynamic discovery on received multicast messages for a relevant multicast global identifier (MGID) in a high performance computing environment. By allowing InfiniBand (IB) clients to associate local queue pairs (QPs) with the MGID(s) of relevant multicast group(s) without requiring any join request to the subnet manager (SM)/subnet administration (SA), it is possible to receive relevant multicast (MC) messages without imposing the SM/SA overhead of a conventional multicast group join request. After receiving, at an end-node of the subnet, a multicast packet including a multicast global identifier and a multicast local identifier, the end-node can inspect the multicast packet to learn the multicast local identifier and include the learned multicast local identifier in the multicast group record at the end-node for the received multicast global identifier.

Abstract: Systems and methods for supporting coordinated link up handling following a switch reset in a high performance computing environment. Systems and methods can ensure that when a switch of a fabric is rebooted, HCA ports connected to that switch will be set in Active state at the same time even though link training times for different ports may vary with up to several seconds.

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: A system and method can implement highly available Internet Protocol (IP) based communication across multiple independent communication paths. The system can have different IP addresses associated with different interfaces and communication paths and can implement communication fail-over as part of the communication layers above the IP layer, e.g. at the application level. The system can provide a balance between an average fail-over time and implementation complexity, and can achieve simplicity and robustness while providing high communication performance.

Abstract: A system and method can support subnet management in a network environment. A network switch in the network environment can provide a transactional interface, wherein the transactional interface allows a user to interact with the network environment using a transaction. The transactional interface allows a user to group one or more operations in the transaction, and ensures that no conflicting operations are included in the transaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for supporting dual-port virtual router in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a dual port router abstraction can provide a simple way for enabling subnet-to-subnet router functionality to be defined based on a switch hardware implementation. A virtual dual-port router can logically be connected outside a corresponding switch port. This virtual dual-port router can provide an InfiniBand specification compliant view to a standard management entity, such as a Subnet Manager. In accordance with an embodiment, a dual-ported router model implies that different subnets can be connected in a way where each subnet fully controls the forwarding of packets as well as address mappings in the ingress path to the subnet.
