Switch
HP offers the following switch:
• 376227-B21 HP 24-port 4X Fabric Copper Switch
NOTE: HP is in the process of transitioning to a new switch, the Cisco SFS 7000P. For
documentation and ordering information, see
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6421/index.html
Whenever a Cisco OS is loaded, you are required to turn on the HP-specific default values. To
enable the HP-specific defaults, the process is as follows (the commands below ONLY apply to
Cisco O/S version 2.7.0 and later):1) Login to switch console.2) Type "enable" to go to privileged
mode.3) Type "configure" to go to config mode.4) Type "xoem-id hp" and reboot switch to enable
the HP-specific defaults.After reboot, the "show version" command should show something like
"SFS 7000 (HP)", to indicate that the HP defaults are now in effect.
NOTE: Customers can use SFS 7000D (24-port DDR switch from Cisco) or ISR 9024D-M (24-port
DDR switch from Voltaire) with any of the InfiniBand HCAs. The required firmware is:
• SFS 7000P or SFS 7000D: 2.9.0 or later
• ISR 9024D-M: 3.4.5 or later
