6700C, 6700H, and 6700X coexistence systems have Mellanox InfiniBand dual 56 Gb adapters to run at V5. Running at V5 requires that everything be at V5: the cables, the adapters (Mellanox InfiniBand Dual 56 Gb), and the InfiniBand switch (Mellanox InfiniBand IS5030 36-port, Mellanox InfiniBand GD4200 162-port, Mellanox InfiniBand SX6518 324-port ).
When 6700C, 6700H, and 6700X systems coexist with older generation nodes, the system runs based on the slowest component.
The following coexistence system configurations are valid for 6700C nodes.
| Nodes in System | 6700C Nodes to Add to Build a Coexistence System | BYNET Version | BYNET Switch |
