Introduction

Interoperability

IB0054606-02  A

1-3

An embedded subnet manager can be used in one or more managed 
switches. QLogic offers the QLogic Embedded Fabric Manager (FM) for 
both DDR and QDR switch product lines supplied by your IB switch vendor. 

A host-based subnet manager can be used. QLogic provides the QLogic 
Fabric Manager (FM), as a part of the QLogic InfiniBand

®

 Fabric Suite (IFS).

Interoperability

QLogic OFED+ participates in the standard IB subnet management protocols for 
configuration and monitoring. Note that: 

QLogic OFED+ (including Internet Protocol over InfiniBand

®

 (IPoIB)) is 

interoperable with other vendors’ InfiniBand

®

 adapters running compatible 

OFED releases. 

In addition to supporting running MPI over verbs, QLogic provides a 
high-performance InfiniBand

®

-Compliant vendor-specific protocol, known as 

PSM. MPIs run over PSM will not interoperate with other adapters.

NOTE

See the OpenFabrics web site at 

www.openfabrics.org

 for more information 

on the OpenFabrics Alliance.
