Module Overview
|
Oracle's F2 Long Range InfiniBand Module occupies one chassis slot in the Oracle Fabric Interconnect F2-12 modular switch. The module slots in the Oracle Fabric Interconnect F2-12 modular switch can be populated with up to 12 I/O modules to provide InfiniBand fabric attached servers with Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity.
The Oracle F2 Long Range InfiniBand Module contains a Saturn ASIC device that provides high performance EDR InfiniBand switching capabilities for the next generation of Oracle engineered systems. Four 4x IB ports from Saturn connects to the 1x4 QSFP+ connector on the IB-LR module. Each QSFP+ port supports IB LR mode only on the module. Additionally, this module enables the Oracle EDR InfinIBand Fabric to extend geographically distributed data centers, in which speed and distance support are based on the configuration options, as defined by the software release. For more information on configuration options, supported speed and distance combinations, and system level features for this module, refer to the Oracle Fabric Interconnect F2-12 Product Notes at: http://www.oracle.com/goto/f2-12/docs.
Temperature sensors are used to monitor the operation temperature of critical components. The sensors are programmed with default threshold settings. High temperature conditions will be reported as alerts to the switch and its event monitoring systems, for example,SNMP or Oracle ILOM.
For information about switch temperature readings and temperature alerts, refer to the Oracle EDR InfiniBand Switches and Virtualized I/O Systems Administration Guide.
