Ok, InfiniBand 101 question here. I have two servers, both with InfiniBand cards in them. I know traditionally I'll need an InfiniBand switch. But can I get by with direct connect of the two servers to each other (bypass the switch) or does the switch need to be in place? Kinda like with Ethernet when you have a cross over cable... (?) I have a switch coming but would like to start this connection w/o having to wait.
Does InfiniBand *requre* a switch between devices?
Thanks!
