Interconnect Documentation

The Cisco SFS 7000D, 7012D, and 7024D InfiniBand interconnects are modular systems that you

can use to create large, single-system grid/cluster fabrics, or you can use them as building blocks

for larger fabrics. These interconnects are designed to maximize performance, streamline

operations, and to ensure uptime by providing full hardware and software reliability, availability, and

serviceability (RAS) features.

Although these Cisco interconnects and cables were installed by an HP service representative, it is

assumed that you are familiar with the Cisco InfiniBand Interconnects and have the knowledge

necessary to maintain and troubleshoot the Cisco technology that is used in an HP Cluster Platform

solution. This document contains links to the documentation that you will need to troubleshoot and

maintain the Cisco interconnects.

All of the documentation referenced in this document is currently available on the docs.hp.com

and

Cisco

websites. If you have any comments about this HP document, please send them to:

http://docs.hp.com/en/feedback.html

NOTE: Before you begin any system operations, go to the High Performance Computing website

to download the latest documentation updates:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/highperfcomp.html

If your hardware configuration contains HP BladeSystems and enclosures, important updates are

available at the preceding site.

NOTE: For technical support and updates, contact your HP representative rather than using the

Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) referenced in the Cisco documentation.
