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

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 |
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 |
