Note

UFM-SDN Appliance no longer supports the following QDR switches management over SNMP, which means that the internal modules of these switches, such as fans, power supply, etc., will not be discovered by UFM. In addition, health events for such modules will not be triggered by UFM:

  • Grid Director™ 4036

  • Grid Director™ 4036E

  • Grid Director™ 4200

  • Grid Director™ 4700

Note

For supported HCAs per MLNX_OFED version, please refer to MLNX_OFED Release Notes.

Details

Integrated with MFT version mft-4.28.0-95


UFM SM Version

Platform

Type and Version

SM

UFM package includes SM version 5.19.0

Note

Assuming the SM is connected to the production cluster, it can handle any events (IB traps) coming from the fabric that is being built; such events should not affect the routing on the production cluster. If events occurred in the production cluster, the routing could be changed.

However, NVIDIA recommends isolating fabric sections to allow faster bring-ups, faster troubleshooting and misconfiguration avoidance that can cause routing errors. Isolation provides clearer SM and CollectX logs, avoiding warnings/errors from masking real production issues.


UFM NVIDIA SHARP Software Version

Platform

Type and Version

NVIDIA® Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol (SHARP)™

UFM package includes NVIDIA SHARP software version 3.7.0
