IB CLIM
HP introduces support for the IB CLIM, an HP Proliant DL380 G6 server which provides InfiniBand
and Ethernet connectivity from NonStop systems to InfiniBand (IB) and Ethernet networks, on a
controlled availability basis. IB CLIMs are supported on NonStop NB50000c BladeSystems and
NB54000c BladeSystems.
The IB CLIM is part of a Low Latency Solution architecture which provides, via the IB network, a
high speed and low latency messaging system for stock exchange trading from the incoming trade
server to the NonStop operating system. The solution includes software for messaging and order
sequencing.
NOTE: IB CLIMs do not provide general purpose IB connectivity for NonStop systems and are
only used as part of a Low Latency Solution.
The IB CLIM has these features:
• A dual-ported IB Host Channel Adapter (HCA) for InfiniBand connectivity
• Three Ethernet interfaces for connecting to customer data LAN(s), and one additional interface
dedicated to the maintenance LAN
For more information about the IB CLIM, refer to the planning guide for your system.
Migration Considerations
• IB CLIMs are supported on the J06.12 or later RVUs.
• IB CLIMs require the J06.12 or later CLIM DVD.
• IB CLIMs can co-exist with other types of CLIMs on the same NonStop system.
Fallback Considerations
IB CLIMs are not supported on RVUs prior to J06.12.
