2 Feature Overview

This section contains the features for this release, the supported QLogic adapter models, supported distributions and kernels, and a list of the software components.

What’s New in this Release

This release adds support for the QLE7240 and QLE7280 InfiniBand DDR Host

Channel Adapters (HCAs), which offer twice the link bandwidth of SDR HCAs. The extra bandwidth improves performance for both latency-sensitive and bandwidth-intensive applications.

This version of the InfiniPath software provides support for all of the QLogic HCAs in Table 2-1.
