THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL
STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and
S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone.
(S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.)
Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411
Australia: 1 800 805 227
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553 2447
For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts
Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your business operations.
You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and
Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired while most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

Product Overview
The Cisco SFS 7012™ is an industry leading modular system used for creating large, single-system
Grid/Cluster server fabrics, or as a building block for larger fabrics. The SFS 7012 is designed to maximize performance, streamline operations, and ensure uptime by providing full hardware and software reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features.
Leveraging InfiniBand (IB) — an industry-standard interconnect — the SFS 7012 provides high performance, offering a full bisectional bandwidth (FBB) fabric (10Gb-30Gb) and ultra-low switching latency. Additionally, the SFS 7012 can be configured to run at 2.5 Gbps single data rate (SDR), 5.0
Gbps double data rate (DDR), or both.
All major SFS 7012 components and expansion modules are field replaceable and hot pluggable. To allow easy scaling, the SFS 7012 provides 12 expansion slots. Each slot can support expansion modules with twelve 10 Gbit/sec (or 4X) IB ports, meaning the SFS 7012 can scale to 144 (4X) InfiniBand ports.
The SFS 7000 Series switches make possible the highest density of InfiniBand fabrics available today.

Subnet Manager
Every InfiniBand fabric subnet requires a single active Subnet Manager (SM) to initialize and maintain the subnet. The fabric may also have one or more standby Subnet Managers. One of the standby Subnet
Managers can be configured to become the active SM in the event of a failure.
As Figure 1-2 shows, InfiniBand-enabled fabrics consist of one or more subnets. Each subnet consists
of a number of InfiniBand-capable servers connected to target devices. InfiniBand-capable routers provide connectivity between InfiniBand subnets.

When a network is initially powered up, the Subnet Manager queries the subnet management agents running on the network devices, for information about node/port addressing schemes, routing tables and partitions. From that point on, the Subnet Manager periodically sweeps the network for changes. Once the InfiniBand network is up and running, the InfiniBand General Services Managers (GSMs) begin to interface with General Services Agents (GSAs).
Subnet Management
Subnet Management Agents
A Subnet Management Agent processes management requests from the Subnet Manager. Subnet
Management Agents are implemented on all nodes within the InfiniBand fabric. These nodes include
IB-capable switches, routers, and channel adapters. Each node implements a Subnet Management Agent.
Within the SFS 7012 Switch, a Subnet Management Agent (SMA) is implemented within its firmware.
OL-8787-04

Chapter
An SMA also runs on every InfiniBand-capable server that is equipped with an HCA. As shown in
Figure 1-3 the Subnet Manager interacts with these SMAs to discover information about the nodes on
the fabric.

The Subnet Manager utilizes the agent information to discover and manage connections from the SFS
7012 to the InfiniBand fabric. The Subnet Manager maintains a database tracking subnet topology information as a result of its interaction with the SMAs.
InfiniBand General Services Managers and Agents
The InfiniBand specification defines the InfiniBand General Services Managers and their associated agents. General Services Managers exchange messages with agents to manage and monitor the performance and the physical environment of devices on the network.
Once the InfiniBand network is up and running, the InfiniBand General Services Managers begin to interface with General Services Agents. The General Services Managers and Agents include:
• Subnet Administration (SA)
•
SA provides InfiniBand fabric nodes with an interface to the Subnet Manager. This interface is used by the nodes on the fabric to interact with the Master Subnet Manager and to discover information about the fabric. Every InfiniBand fabric subnet requires a SA.
The Device Manager (DM) and Device Management Agent (DMA)
•
•
•
The DM and DMA discover and manage the association between hosts and devices behind the Target
Channel Adapters.
The Communications Manager (CM)
The CM establishes and manages communication channels between nodes.
The Baseboard Manager (BM) and Baseboard Management Agent (BMA)
The BM and BMA exchange messages relating to items such as temperature monitoring and hardware control to manage hardware on the fabric.
The Performance Manager (PM) and Performance Management Agent (PMA)
Cisco SFS 7012 InfiniBand Server Switch Hardware Users Guide
6 OL-8787-04
Chapter
The PM and PMA exchange messages about performance statistics and error information of
InfiniBand devices on the fabric.
SNMP Support
Built-in support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows users to integrate a SFS 7012 into their existing management frameworks. SNMP allows users access to all statistics, trend analysis, alarm handling, filtering, and performance monitoring capabilities supported by these management frameworks.
SNMP MIBs
SNMP Management Information Bases (MIBs) are management elements that are used by industry frameworks to monitor information about the SFS 7012 switch. The SFS 7012 switch supports MIBs from the following sources:
• Switch-sourced MIBs: MIBs from the CMU of the SFS 7012 provide status information regarding the physical environment of the switch. Additionally, the CMU MIBs provide status and activity information for all line cards residing in the switch.

Rack Specifications and Recommendations
The SFS 7012 switch is designed to be installed in an existing 19-inch equipment rack or server rack.
The SFS 7012 switch is designed for a four-post server cabinet. It is not designed for a two-post telco cabinet.
Racks should conform to conventional standards. In the United States, use American National Standards
Institute (ANSI)/Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard ANSI/EIA-310-D-92, and
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 297
• Racks should meet the following mechanical recommendations:
•
•
–
–
Four-post, 19 " rack to facilitate easy maintenance
Universal mounting rail hole pattern identified in IEC Standard 297
– Mounting holes flush with the rails to accommodate the switch
Use a rack grounding kit and a ground conductor that is carried back to earth or to another suitable building ground. Ground the equipment rack to earth ground.
Provide enough room to work on the equipment. Clear the work site of any unnecessary materials.
Make sure the equipment will have enough clearance for front and rear access.
Installing and Routing Cable
Note Building and electrical codes vary depending on the location. Comply with all code specifications when planning the site and installing cable.
When running cables to the equipment, consider the following:
•
•
•
Do not run cables where they can be stepped on or rolled over.
Be sure cables are intact with no cuts, bends, or nicks.
Provide proper strain relief for standard IB cables by adhering to the following guidelines:

•
•
The switch power supplies have a maximum power consumption requirement of 350W. Also ensure that the site meets all power supply requirements.
Before installation and periodically after installation, check that the site is receiving clean power.
Install a power conditioner if necessary.
Be sure the site is properly grounded to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Consider the following when selecting Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) equipment:
• The minimum amperage requirements for a UPS:
– Calculate VA (Volt-Amps): Locate the voltage and amperage requirements for each piece of equipment (usually located on a sticker on the back or bottom of the equipment). Multiply the numbers together to get VA.
•
•
•
– Add the VA from each piece of equipment together to find the total VA requirement. Then add
30% to determine the minimum amperage requirements for the UPS.
Transition time (the time necessary for the UPS to transfer from utility power to full-load battery power).
The longest potential time period the UPS might be required to supply backup power.
Whether or not the UPS unit also provides online protection.

Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products
Warning Installing system components in a rack without the front and side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before installing components in the rack.
Warning After installing system components in a rack never pull more than one component at one time out of the rack on its slide assemblies. The weight of more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over.
Warning Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a rack.
Warning The chassis, when fully populated with leaf modules, spine modules, power and fan supplies, is very heavy (approximately 100 lbs.). It is recommended that a lifting device be used to handle a fully loaded chassis.
Caution Always load the rack from the bottom up, loading the heaviest item first.
Caution Make sure the rack is level and stable before extending any component from the rack.
Note Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components of the rack.
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Caution Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Caution Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the system. To prevent ESD damage, users need discharge any static electricity from their bodies before touching any electronic components. Touching an unpainted metal surface will discharge static electricity.
Caution When transporting an ESD sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.

Snap the bottom of the faceplate in place.
Removing a Module or Blank
The handles are self-locking. To unlock, push up on the handles to disengage from the lock notch. Then gently pull the handles out and slide the module out of the slot.
Note If removing, but not replacing a module, remember to replace with a module blank. All slots must be either populated with a module or have blanks for EMI and thermal integrity.
Installing the Spine and Leaf Modules
Note The purchased configuration for the SFS 7012 is shipped fully populated. Follow these steps when it becomes necessary to install or replace spine modules and leaf modules.
Step 1 Remove the necessary spine modules, spine module blanks, leaf modules, and leaf module blanks. For detailed instructions, please refer to the section
Removing a Module or Blank, page 2-26
.
Note If the user is only adding additional modules, remove only the blank(s) for the slot(s) to be populated.
These will not be replaced.
Step 1 When placing the spine modules and leaf modules into chassis slots, the following recommendations apply: a.
Spine Modules — It is recommended that the spine module(s) be installed into:
– Slot 1 for managed. For redundant management, populate slots 1 and 2 with management-capable spines.
– Slot 3 for unmanaged.

To install a module or filler, hold it so that the ejector handles are on the bottom.
Pull the handles out to extend them.
Slide the module into the appropriate slot of the chassis until it makes contact with the backplane. As the module seats in the chassis, the handles will begin to close.
Push the handles in to fully close.
Note Be sure that all cards are fully inserted in their respective chassis slots, and that the handles are in the locked position. This prevents accidental removal, provides proper grounding for the system, and helps to seat the bus connectors in the backplane receptacles.
Connect Equipment to the Ports and Power On the System
Note Before performing the tasks in this section, take a few minutes to review
below. It is important to understand the slot numbering for the leaf modules and spine modules (and the corresponding spine RJ-45 ports). It is also important to understand the slot numbering for the fans and power supplies (and the corresponding AC power inlets for the power supplies).

Connect a Category 5 or 6 (Cat 5/6) Ethernet cable to one of the RJ-45 connectors on the SFS 7012.
Connect the other end of the Cat 5/6 to the OOB LAN workstation. Refer to
for which RJ-45 connector(s) to use:
Connect the switch to IB-enabled hosts using 4X-to-4X IB cables.
Note Make sure all cables latch securely into the corresponding port connectors. If the IB cable connector is not properly oriented to fit onto the port receptacle (i.e., while attempting to insert the cable in the port), do not twist the connector to achieve the correct orientation. Instead, reach back a few feet on the cable, and twist the bulk cable to allow the connector to rotate to the proper orientation. Doing this prevents all of the rotational forces from acting right at the connector terminations.
Caution It is important to provide strain relief for the IB cable connector.

Updating Management Spine IP Addresses in a Redundant Management Configuration
Note This procedure should be performed the first time the SFS 7012 is powered on. Additionally, it is recommended to change the managed spine IP address for all available images (i.e., Image 1 and Image
2) when performing this procedure.
Each managed spine must have a unique IP address that is different than the chassis IP address of the
SFS 7012. Therefore, a redundantly-managed SFS 7012 will have three (3) unique IP addresses. The current default IP addresses are:
– Chassis: 192.168.0.9
–
–
Spine 1: 192.168.0.10
Spine 2: 192.168.0.11
It is necessary for each managed spine to have a unique IP address for the following reasons:
• Unique IP addresses are used when sending syslog messages from a managed spine to a syslog server.
•
•
Gives the user the ability to ping each management spine separately.
If the IP addresses are not unique, collisions will occur, causing IP operations to fail.
To update the IP address on managed spine, do the following:

Hot Swapping Components
Hot Swapping Spine and Leaf Modules
Note Following are the general guidelines for hot swapping leaf and spine modules:
OL-8787-04
Caution Be certain that the managed spine to be hot swapped is a that same firmware level as all other components in the SFS 7012. A hot swap of a managed spine with another firmware level will cause a disruptive reboot (i.e., I/O traffic is interrupted).
•
•
•
Hot swap one module at a time, allowing the chassis to completely update it before hot-swapping the next module. The module update is complete when it becomes visible within the Chassis Viewer
GUI. Listed below are the approximate times to fully update each module type:
–
–
Spines modules: up to 4 minutes
Leaf modules: up to 2 minutes
When a management spine is hot swapped, the rest of the chassis will continue to move packets without interruption.
There is no need to reboot the chassis when replacing either a spine or leaf module.

Command Line Interface
This appendix includes the following information:
•
Commands and Functional Groups, page B-86
•
•
Groups and Commands, page B-88
Overview
This section details the usage of the Command Line Interface (CLI) feature for the Cisco SFS 7012™.
The CLI allows the user to perform remote configuration and management tasks, which in many respects mirrors the functionality of the Chassis Viewer GUI.
The CLI is accessed via a terminal attached to the SFS 7012 spine module(s) RS232 port(s) or via the
OOB management port using Telnet and secure shell (SSH). For a standalone SFS 7012, the user would
Telnet to the unit's IP address(es). Once connected, the CLI works as any telnet session does.
To access the CLI, a login and password is required. There are two user modes, operator and administrator with the following access privileges:
Operator:
– Read only access.
Administrator:
– Read and write Access.
–
–
Reboot access.
Can change operator and administrator passwords.
–
–
Can disable user login and passwords. This would allow all users administrator-level access without the need for a user name or password.
Can view all current user sessions
–
–
Can access all of the commands executed from any open operator session.
Can log out any open user sessions
Can send messages to the open user sessions
The CLI allows multiple users to be logged in simultaneously. However, some commands will be locked to a user(s) if another user is executing the same command.
Cisco SFS 7012 InfiniBand Server Switch Hardware Users Guide
85 OL-8787-04
Appendix
The CLI is also accessible through the RS232 serial port of the SFS 7012. Accessing the CLI through the serial port never requires a login and password and defaults to administrator privileges. Providing access through the serial port means that users will always have access to the SFS 7012, even if Telnet and SSH are not functioning.
Commands and Functional Groups
The list of available commands can be accessed by typing list . To keep the list short, the commands are grouped into functional groups, which are:
General:
General administrative commands
Deprecated:
Commands that have been deprecated.
Note The Deprecated group contains CLI commands that been replaced or are to be removed. Please use the new command where appropriate.
Chassis :
Provides commands for configuring and managing chassis-level functionality. This includes commands for changing the SFS 7012 IP address, and displaying fan tray, power supply, and FRU information.
Network :
General network commands.
Firmware :
Provides commands for updating the firmware via a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server or Secure
Copy Protocol (SCP) (if using SSH to access the SFS 7012). The SFS 7012 has the ability to store the location of the firmware files for future upgrades. Additionally, the Firmware functional group includes commands for viewing the current firmware revisions and for changing the boot image.
Log:
Provides commands for viewing log files as well as configuring logging parameters. This includes commands for changing the SFS 7012 IP address, and displaying fan tray, power supply, and FRU information.
KeyManagement:
Provides commands for adding, removing and displaying license keys on the SFS 7012.
IbSwitchInfo :
Provides commands for displaying InfiniBand (IB) statistics for all IB ports on the SFS 7012.
TimeManagement:
Provides commands for retrieving and setting the current system time, as well as commands for setting the time zone and daylight saving time parameters.
Snmp :
Provides commands for configuring SNMP trap destinations and security parameters required to access the SFS 7012 from an SNMP manager.
