Abstract: Systems and methods to provide default multicast group (MCG) for announcements and discovery as extended port information in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, hence, in order to enable IB multicast operations in a well-defined way without depending on SA access, there should be at least one IB multicast group (MCG) defined by the Subnet Manager and communicated to the IB clients via extended SMA attributes.

Abstract: Systems and methods can provide a switch mode that is similar to “boot in progress”, but that is admin (e.g., administrator) controllable. This mode can ensure that an admin can perform re-cabling and cable test operations for any single switch in an operational subnet (e.g., an InfiniBand subnet) without causing unnecessary subnet re-routing and re-configuration operations.

Abstract: A system and method can support security management in a network environment. A switch in the network environment includes a switch chip, which is configured with a secure management key (M_Key) prior to one or more external links becoming operational. Furthermore, a local daemon in the switch can monitor the secure M_key on the switch chip, and persistently store a current M_key used by a local subnet manager (SM). The current M_key is a state that is dynamically updated in a fabric in the network environment.

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: 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: A system and method can support master negotiation in a network environment. A subnet manager (SM) can perform subnet discovery on a subnet in the network environment via a subnet manager (SM) in the subnet, wherein the subnet includes a plurality of SMs. Furthermore, the SM can communicate with the other SMs in the subnet to check for a number of known secret keys, and select a SM from the plurality of SMs as a master SM, wherein the master SM has the highest number of known keys.

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.
