The Cisco SFS 7000P switch features hot-swappable redundant power and
cooling.
If any single InfiniBand port fails, none of the other ports will have interrupted
service.
For redundancy, InfiniBand host channel adapters can be dual-connected to a
redundant pair of Cisco SFS 7000P switches.
In an InfiniBand fabric that includes more than one Cisco SFS 7000P switch, if
the subnet manager on the Cisco SFS 7000P switch that is acting as the master
fails, another subnet manager will take over within seconds. (See
