1Overview

Mellanox's Unified Fabric Manager (UFM®) is a powerful platform for managing scale-out

computing environments. UFM enables data center operators to efficiently monitor and operate

the entire fabric, and maximize fabric resource utilization.

UFM eliminates the complexity of fabric management, provides deep visibility into traffic and

health, and optimizes application performance.

While other tools are device-oriented and involve manual processes, UFM is an automated and

an application-oriented software which bridges the gap between servers, applications and fabric

elements. Thus, it enables administrators to manage and optimize clusters of various sizes.

UFM®-SDN Appliance is offered as a pre-installed network device, suitable for all OS environ-

ments. It uses a Mellanox ConnectX-4 EDR 2 port adapter card, which is installed on Mellanox

fabric with a minimal effort.

1.1 Serial Number and Product Version Information

The Serial number and MAC address of the appliance are found on the pull out tab on the top left

side of the front of the appliance. The MAC address of the first management interface (eth0) can

be found on the pull-tab. eth0-1 have the next consecutive addresses.

The on/off button is located on the front side of the appliance (see Figure 6), and is used to turn

the appliance on and off. For a graceful shutdown of the system, use the relevant CLI command.

To force shutdown of the appliance, hold the button down until the appliance turns off. The LED

of the button displays the system’s power status.

3.2 RJ-45 Serial Port

This RJ-45 port is found on the rear side of the appliance (see Figure 13). This is a serial console

RS-232 connector. This interface can be connected directly to a laptop via USB-to-serial cable

for first-time configuration or to a Serial-to-Ethernet device. It should be configured to 115200

Bps similar to switches.

3.3 RJ-45 Management Ports eth0-eth1

These 2 RJ-45 ports are found on the rear side of the appliance (see Figure 13). The eth0-eth1

and remote management interfaces are pre-configured as DHCP and the initial host name is ufm-

appliance-[MAC ADDRESS] (MAC appears on a sticker on the pull-tab), so their IP addresses

can be obtained from the DHCP server. In case no DHCP server is available, you have to use a

serial cable to connect and configure eth0 and remote-management IP addresses with a static IP

address.

Configuring the appliance via the serial port is required only in the case where out-of-

the-box DHCP configuration for eth0 cannot be used. (There is no DHCP server in the

management network). The user is then required to use the serial port to configure a

static IP on eth0.

NIC#1 Ethernet connector gets connected to Ethernet switches. This switch must be

configured to 100M/1G auto-negotiation.

3.4 ConnectX®-4 QSFP Ports

These 2 QSFP ports are found on the rear side of the appliance. See Figure 13. They should be

connected to an IB switch in the fabric, it is recommended to connect to two different switches

for redundancy. The appliance can be connected only to a single IB fabric.

3.4.1 QSFP Port Interfaces

There is one I/O LED per port. See Table 8 below for LED functionality in InfiniBand mode.

3.5 RJ-45 Ethernet Connector for Remote Management

The appliance has multiple Ethernet management interfaces. The primary management interface

is eth0. An additional interface exists, for connecting to a remote management controller (It usu-

ally connects to the same management network as eth0). For using out-of-the-box DHCP set-

tings: Default hostname for the appliance (over eth0) is “ufm-appliance-[MAC ADDRESS]”.

The MAC address for eth0 is available on the pull-tab and can be configured in the DHCP server.

To use the remote management controller with DHCP, the free-range IP allocation must be

enabled on the DHCP server. A static IP address for remote management interface can be config-

ured via the CLI (“chassis remote-management ip” command).
