Using InfiniBand Devices (Overview/Tasks)

InfiniBand (IB) is a I/O technology based on switch fabrics. It provides high bandwidth, low latency interconnect for attaching I/O devices to hosts and for host-to-host communication.

This is a list of the overview information in this chapter.

For information on the procedures associated with using IB devices, see the following:

For general information about dynamic reconfiguration and hot-plugging, see Chapter 6, Dynamically Configuring Devices (Tasks).
