2.5.2 Configuring an InfiniBand Interconnect
An InfiniBand interconnect requires one or more external InfiniBand switches with at least one
managed switch to manage the fabric.
Systems using an InfiniBand interconnect require you to install an InfiniBand mezzanine card
into mezzanine bay 2 of each server blade to provide a connection to the InfiniBand interconnect
network. The InfiniBand card in mezzanine bay 2 connects to the double-wide InfiniBand switch
in interconnect bays 5 and 6 on the enclosure.
The entire interconnect network is formed by connecting the InfiniBand switches in interconnect
bays 5 and 6 of each enclosure to one of the InfiniBand interconnect switches.
Non-blade server nodes also require InfiniBand cards and must also be connected to the
interconnect network.
Figure 2-7 illustrates the connections for an InfiniBand interconnect.
