The bottom line is that I want to use VPI with offloading on the HCA with the IS5035Q-1SFC; therefore, which dual-port card(s) works with this switch?
I am new to Infiniband and I picked the IS5035Q-1SFC switch up for the lab--to learn--but I want to ensure that the ConnectX-3 Pro card ( MCX354A-QCBT) is compatible with this switch. I believe so--strongly--but not strongly enough to purchase the HCA for this switch--without confirming first. I referred to the HCA's manual but it only states that I may use the MCX353A-FCCT--for QDR--but I wonder if this is simply an example--as the same suggestion is repeated on the next page: http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/user_manuals/ConnectX-3_Pro_VPI_Single_and_Dual_QSFP+_Port_Adapter_Card_User_Manual.pdf
Thank you very much for helping this newbie to learn, to which, I am very excited!
