Abstract: Systems and methods for host-side configuration of a host channel adapter (HCA). An exemplary embodiment can provide a HCA, including a control circuit with a processor and a memory, and at least one port operative to connect the HCA to a network fabric. Additionally, the HCA can include a subnet management agent (SMA) that executes on the HCA, and a software driver for the HCA that includes a control application programming interface (API) that exposes functionality to hyper-privileged software executing on a host. The hyper-privileged software can set, through the control API, configurable variables stored in the memory of the HCA. Based on the value of the set variables, the HCA can operate in one of a legacy mode or one or more other modes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for defining virtual machine fabric profiles of virtual machines. An exemplary embodiment can provide a virtual machine identifier, a virtual host channel adapter instance ID, and a virtual globally unique identifier. The virtual machine identifier, virtual host channel adapter instance ID, and virtual globally unique identifier can be mapped to each other so that the virtual host channel adapter instance ID, and virtual globally unique identifier can be retrieved through access to the virtual machine identifier. Further, a relationship can be created between a P_Key that defines an admin partition and the virtual globally unique identifier, where the relationship between the P_Key and the virtual globally unique identifier defines the virtual globally unique identifier as a member of the admin partition defined by the P_Key.

Abstract: Systems and methods for supporting SMA level abstractions at router ports for enablement of data traffic in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a subnet manager in a local subnet is responsible for enabling data traffic between subnets in a high performance computing environment. The SM can configure and set a data attribute at a switch port configured as a router port such that incoming data packets can be checked against the attribute to determine whether the data packet's destination is allowed or disallowed to receive inter-subnet data traffic.

Abstract: Systems and methods for supporting resource quotas for multicast group creation and membership in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, multicast group membership can present an issue in that inter-subnet partitions can, if left unchecked, runaway with multicast group creation within any given connected subnet. This can starve address map resources at router ports. A quota can be supplied that provides a maximum number of multicast groups any given inter-subnet partition is allowed to create within any given subnet.

Abstract: Systems and methods for supporting SMA level handling to ensure subnet integrity in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, in order to ensure subnet integrity, a SMA at an entry port can operate such that all incoming packets are forwarded to an embedded processor (firmware) no matter where the packet is addressed. Each incoming packet can thus be filtered by an embedded processor. If the packet is valid (for example, includes a second receiver flag and is addressed appropriately), the packet can be allowed. However, if some portion of the validation fails, the packet can be dropped before being allowed entry into the subnet, thus ensuring the integrity of the subnet from erroneous and/or dangerous packets.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for supporting scalable multi-homed routing for virtual switch based host channel adapter (HCA) virtualization in a subnet. An exemplary method can provide one or more switches, a plurality of host channel adapters, a plurality of hypervisors, and a plurality of virtual machines. The method can arrange the plurality of host channel adapters with one or more of a virtual switch with prepopulated local identifiers (LIDs) architecture or a virtual switch with dynamic LID assignment architecture. The method can further perform a multi-homed routing for the subnet, wherein at least one of the plurality of host channel adapters comprises two virtual switches, wherein the two virtual switches are treated as endpoints of the subnet, and wherein the multi-homed routing for the subnet ensures that each the two virtual switches are routed through independent paths.

Abstract: A system and method for supporting subnet management in a network environment is described. The system and method can be used in 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 a plurality of SA proxies, each of which can receive plurality of requests from one or more client nodes. The SA can handle the requests, which are forwarded from the SA proxies. Additionally, each client node can be assigned a dedicated queue pair (QP) number, 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 multiple domains in an InfiniBand (IB) fabric. The IB fabric can include one or more subnets, wherein each said subnet contains one or more switch nodes. Additionally, at least one said subnet can be divided into one or more sub-subnets, wherein each said sub-subnet is managed by a separate sub-subnet manager that is associated with a unique management key, and wherein said one or more sub-subnets are connected by one or more sub-subnet gateway switch nodes, wherein each sub-subnet gateway switch node belongs to one sub-subnet.
