I do not completely understand what do you mean here under two separate
rails ...
Already today you may connect each port to different subnet, and ports
in the same
subnet may talk to each other.
Subnet? (subnet .vs. fabric)
About subnet id definition you may read here.
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=openfabrics#ofa-set-subnet-id
Does this imply tcp/ip
What IB protocols are involved and
Is there any agent that notices the disconnect and will trigger the switch?
In Open MPI we use RC (connected) protocol. On connection failure we get
error
and handle it. If APM is enabled, Open MPI will try to migrate to other
path , otherway we will fail.
