InfiniBand host stack software (driver) is required to run on servers connected to the InfiniBand fabric. For HCAs based on Mellanox
technologies, HP supports Mellanox OFED driver stacks on Linux 64-bit operating systems, and Mellanox WinOF driver stack on
Microsoft Windows (HPC) server 2008.

An InfiniBand fabric is constructed with one or more InfiniBand switches connected via inter-switch links. The most commonly
deployed fabric topology is a fat tree or its variations. A subnet manager is required to manage an InfiniBand fabric. OpenSM is a
host-based subnet manager that runs on a server connected to the InfiniBand fabric. Mellanox OFED software stack includes
OpenSM for Linux, and Mellanox WinOF includes OpenSM for Windows. For comprehensive management and monitoring
capabilities, Mellanox FabricIT™ is recommended for managing the InfiniBand fabric based on Mellanox InfiniBand products.
