HyprFabrc-00
HyperFabric is a high-speed network link that runs on various HP systems running
HP-UX. HyperFabric supports Hyper Messaging Protocol (HMP) and the IP network
protocol stack (TCP/IP/UDP).
Summary of Change
The March 2006 version of HyperFabric supports large user count. Large user count
builds on top of Hyper Messaging Protocol (HMP) software which includes support for
transparent local failover feature. The number of users supported depends on the
number of Card-Pairs configured. For more information, see the HyperFabric
Configuration Guidelines, available at
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/netcom/index.html#HyperFabric.
Impact
There are no impacts other than the support of large user count.
Compatibility
Newer versions of MPI will not be certified with HF2.
