The oper code field of the command output identifies the controller card as the active card (normal) or the hot standby card (standby). By default, when you power on a Topspin 270, the card in slot 11 becomes active and the card in slot 12 becomes the standby. The master and standby controllers automatically synchronize state and configuration information.

InfiniBand Connectivity

The Topspin 270 is an enterprise-class managed 960Gb/S, 6U InfiniBand (IB) Switch that is capable of supporting up to 96 4X ports.

In addition, the Topspin 270 is designed to support the 12x InfiniBand ports when they become available.

Flexibility

The architecture of the Topspin 270 offers flexibility in that the switch fabric modules are generic, and will assume the role of fabric controller or fabric node depending on the slot into which they are installed.

This increases the ease of replacing components because only one type of fabric card has to be stocked, and will become a controller or node, depending on what is needed.

Hi-Availability

Hardware

The Topspin 270 features hot-swappable and redundant:

Power Supply Modules

Fan Trays

Line Interface Modules (redundant connection from HCA)

Fabric Controller Modules (in redundant Core or Node slots)

Management Interface module

The Topspin 270 features hot-swappable:

Chassis ID

Ports

No failure on any single InfiniBand port will result in interruptions in service for any of the other ports.
