Connection to the InfiniBand network is achieved through the InfiniBand host channel adapters (HCAs) installed in express module slots in each SPARC T4-4 server. There are four InfiniBand HCAs in each SPARC T4-4 server.
The InfiniBand HCAs, and the ports on each HCA, that are assigned to each domain will vary, depending on the number and type of domains on each SPARC T4-4 server:
One total domain – The HCAs and the ports on those HCAs that are used to connect to the InfiniBand network will vary, depending on the type of domain:
Application Domain: The InfiniBand HCA installed in express module slot 1, and ports 1 and 2 on that InfiniBand HCA, are used for connection to the InfiniBand network.
Database Domain: The following InfiniBand HCAs and ports are used for connection to the InfiniBand network:
- Express module slot 1, ports 1 and 2
- Express module slot 9, ports 1 and 2
- Express module slot 7, ports 1 and 2
- Express module slot 12, ports 1 and 2
Two total domains – The HCAs and the ports on those HCAs that are used to connect to the InfiniBand network will vary, depending on the type of domain:
Application Domains:
- Application Domain as the first domain:
-- Express module slot 1, port 1
-- Express module slot 9, port 2
- Application Domain as the second domain:
-- Express module slot 7, port 1
-- Express module slot 12, port 2
Database Domains:
- Database Domain as the first domain:
-- Express module slot 1, ports 1 and 2
-- Express module slot 9, ports 1 and 2
- Database Domain as the second domain:
-- Express module slot 7, ports 1 and 2
-- Express module slot 12, ports 1 and 2
Three total domains – The HCAs and the ports on those HCAs that are used to connect to the InfiniBand network will vary, depending on the type of domain:
Application Domains:
- Application Domain as the first domain:
-- Express module slot 1, port 1
-- Express module slot 9, port 2
- Application Domain as the second domain: Express module slot 7, ports 1 and 2
- Application Domain as the third domain: Express module slot 12, ports 1 and 2
Database Domains:
- Database Domain as the first domain:
-- Express module slot 1, ports 1 and 2
-- Express module slot 9, ports 1 and 2
- Database Domain as the second domain: Express module slot 7, ports 1 and 2
- Database Domain as the third domain: Express module slot 12, ports 1 and 2
Four total domains – The HCAs and the ports on those HCAs that are used to connect to the InfiniBand network are the same, regardless of the type of domain:
First domain: Express module slot 2, ports 1 and 2
Second domain: Express module slot 10, ports 1 and 2
Third domain: Express module slot 6, ports 1 and 2
Fourth domain: Express module slot 14, ports 1 and 2
