Hi Chris, that is basically what we are planning to do: using RoCE v2 for the Lnet routers and use InfiniBand for the HPC part of the cluster. As I have mentioned before, the problem is that the existing Lustre will be in a different location to where the new facility will be. At least that

Jorg, I think I might know where the Lustre storage is ! It is possible to install storage routers, so you could route between ethernet and infiniband. It is also worth saying that Mellanox have Metro Infiniband switches - though I do not think they go as far as the west of London! Seriously
