Hi,
I need to create an ESX cluster made from the following hardware
* four nodes DELL C6220
* HP DL 380 G6
* HP SE316M1 (NAS)
I wish to connect them via infiniband and found the following components:
Mellanox MIS5035Q-1BRC 36 port Infiniband managed switch QDR 2.88Tb/s IS5035
Sun Oracle X4242A PCIe Infiniband 40Gbps ConnectX-2 QDR MHQH29B-XSR (For HP Rack)
DELL JR3P1 MELLANOX MCQH29-XDR CONNEXTX-2 VPI DUAL PORT 40GB INFINIBAND HBA (For Dell C6220)
I have 3 questions:
Do you think it is a balanced setup, with all parts having the same specifications ?
Which cable do I need to connect the Network adapters to the Switch ?
Is this networking hardware supported from VMWare ESXi 6.0U2 ?
