2.4 InfiniBand Subnet Management

The HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch does not have an embedded subnet manager. All
InfiniBand networks require a subnet manager to manage, monitor and troubleshoot the
InfiniBand fabric. A subnet manager is required for the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch.
A subnet manager can be host-based which must be installed and run on a host node connected
to the InfiniBand fabric. You can also use a switch-based subnet manager when certain managed
switches are incorporated into the InfiniBand fabric.
For more information about InfiniBand subnet management, refer to the InfiniBand interconnect
documentation that came with your system or cluster. Also refer to the HP InfiniBand Options for
HP ProLiant and Integrity Servers Quickspec on the HP website:
