    Dell C6100 and Windows Server 2012 no RDMA

    Check to see which port the subnet manager is bound. I thought it would only bind to 1 port, and I am not sure which port is the "first" port.

    Dell C6100 and Windows Server 2012 no RDMA

    You need a subnet manager running if you are running not using a managed switch. EDIT: I didn't see your picture originally, but now I see it. I believe that you need to run a subnet manager on the other node(s). I thought the subnet manager would only bind to a single port on the dual...

    QFSP to SQFP QDR Infiniband 100m Fiber $45 or less + Shipping

    I thought for sure it was listed as 100M when I originally saw it, but now I see it's 30M. I must have been really tired when I posted this. Still probably longer than anyone needs, but indeed a great deal. I wonder how hard it is to cut these down to size?

    Not quite sure yet. I am a database admin/application developer by trade, and trying to see how I can leverage these for some projects I am working on crunching data. Also, they're inexpensive for what they are, so I know they will come in handy down the road. I bought 3 Dell MD1000's on the...

    Dell C6100 XS23-TY3 2U 4-Node (8 CPU) Cloud Server

    I picked up a bunch of copper cable off ebay for a good price, but didn't need the long lengths that I bought (but they were far cheaper than buying 2m copper cables), so for me, the only difference is how much cable is laying all over the place. I have a 5m fiber cable (QSFP to CX4) which...

    Dell C6100 items for sale / Infiniband networking gear

    Sorry for the late response. OpenSM is the subnet manager for an infiniband network. It's used when you don't have a managed switch. I cannot speak intelligently as to whether it's L2 or L3 switching. I've used it to verify that the switches work, and everything checks out. What's also...
