InfiniBand Ports
InfiniBand (IB) is a channel based, switched-fabric interconnect for servers. IB
interconnects processor nodes and I/O nodes to a system area network. The
architecture is independent of the host operating system and processor platform.
The Oracle Fabric Interconnect contains several internal 24-port IB switches
(Mellanox). One switch attaches to an internal HCA (IOCPort16). Each external IB
port connects to a external HCA installed on a remote host server. You can connect
an external InfiniBand switch to the Oracle Fabric Interconnect to extend the number
of IB ports.
