We have a pair of IB 4x (Mellanox MTLP23108) HCAs used currently for
direct switchless connection of pair of nodes.
Now we plan to buy 8-port (MTK37900) or 24-port IB switch w/HCAs,
which may be also DDR IB. And we want to build this cluster including
also old pair of nodes w/MTLP23108 HCAs. But is this possible - to
have both HCA kinds (DDR and usual IB 4x HCAs) connected to the same
switch ? If the answer is "yes", is it necessary to setup all the
DDR-HCA drivers manually for work w/"4x speed" or all the necessary
things will be done via negotiations ?
