SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING CONTROLLED RE-ROUTING IN AN INFINIBAND (IB) NETWORK

摘要

A system and method can support controlled re-routing in an InfiniBand (IB) fabric. The fabric is associated with a subnet manager that can detect a connectivity change in the fabric, and re-rout the fabric accordingly. The subnet manager can ensure that only accredited components and connectivity are utilized in the re-routing, and represent the connectivity that is not accredited within a local subnet or sub-subnet. The subnet manager can further maintain a node record or fabric configuration for evaluating the detected connectivity change in the fabric.
