1.3 Port Usage in InfiniBand Switches

All configurations of the Exalogic machine (full, half, quarter, and eighth rack) include Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switches. Only the Exalogic machine full rack and half rack configurations include a Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36.

This section discusses the port usage in the following InfiniBand switches in multirack configuration scenarios:
