Abstract:
Systems and methods for supporting SMP connectivity checks across virtual router in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, SMA model enhancements allow for the possibility to send a packet (i.e., SMP) that is addressed to a local router port. The SMA where the packet is addressed can receive the packet, and then apply a new attribute that defines that the requested information is on a remote node (e.g., connected by a physical link across subnets). In accordance with an embodiment, the SMA can operate as a proxy (receives a SMP and sends another request), or the SMA can modify the original packet and send it on as an inter-subnet packet.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for supporting SMP-based connectivity checks across virtual router ports in a high performance computing environment, comprising:\n providing, one or more computers include a microprocessor; providing a first subnet, the first subnet comprising\n a switch of the first subnet comprising a plurality of switch ports and a subnet management agent (SMA) of the first subnet, wherein a switch port of the switch of the first subnet is configured as a router port of the first subnet, \n a plurality of host channel adapters of the first subnet, each host channel adapter comprising at least one host channel adapter port, and \n a subnet manager of the first subnet; and \n providing a second subnet, the second subnet comprising\n a switch of the second subnet comprising a plurality of switch ports, wherein a switch port of the switch of the second subnet is configured as a router port of the second subnet; \n interconnecting the first subnet with the second subnet via the router port of the first subnet; sending, by the subnet manager of the first subnet, a first request packet to the router port of the first subnet; creating, by a SMA of the first subnet operating as a proxy, a new request packet, and forwarding, by the SMA of the first subnet operating as the proxy, the new request packet to the second subnet.
