"Bonding" of Infiniband ports



Hi list,

we currently use several 2 port mellanox IB Cards in 9 computing nodes.

lspci tells me

InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT25418 [ConnectX IB DDR, PCIe 2.0
2.5GT/s] (rev a0)

Our MPI environment uses the native IB connection. We are thinking about
using all 2 ports of each card. Has anyone tips/do's/dont's concerning
this setup? I would like to use both ports to "double up" bandwith. Does
this require a specific switch?

Any information is highly appreciated.

Regards,
