Abstract:
Moving from a back-to-back topology to a switched topology in an InfiniBand network includes, prior to connecting a switch for a first storage controller in the network and during reboot of the first storage controller, waiting for a second storage controller in the network to become master, and upon the second storage controller becoming master, changing cache files for local ports on the first storage controller regarding adjacent ports' LID assignments. An aspect further includes restarting a system manager for the first storage controller, connecting the first storage controller to the system with new LID assignments provided by changed files on first storage controller, and upon the first storage controller becoming active, rebooting the second storage controller, changing the LID assignments in the active storage controller, and adding new switches to the system.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n prior to connecting a switch for a first storage controller in a network and during reboot of the first storage controller: waiting for a second storage controller in the network to become master, the second storage controller is active; upon the second storage controller becoming master, changing cache files for local ports on the first storage controller regarding local identifier (LID) assignments; (support: paragraph [046]) restarting a system manager for the second storage controller; connecting the first storage controller to the network with the LID assignments provided by the changed cache files for the first storage controller; upon the first storage controller becoming active, rebooting the second storage controller: changing LID assignments for local ports on the second storage controller; and adding the switch to the network.
