The majority of OACISS hardware has two network connections: One which is publicly routable, and one that provides access to the storage/NFS network.
OACISS hardware may have several network connections. If the fully qualified public hostname is 'foo.nic.uoregon.edu' for the host named "foo", then relevant DNS entries are


Public connections are currently 1Gbps (this is likely to change in the relatively near future).
* ''foo.nic.uoregon.edu'' (or ''foo'' from within OACISS network) - the public (128.223.202.x) Ethernet interface
The storage network is mixed 10Gbps/1Gbps. The majority of nodes currently have 10Gbps access.
* ''foo.stor'' - the private (172.17.202.x) Ethernet interface
* ''foo.ib'' - the IPoIB interface, if the host has Infiniband


The public interface of a machine is associated with its public DNS record under the nic.uoregon.edu domain (e.g. ''delphi.nic.uoregon.edu'', or just ''delphi'' from within UO).
Obviously .stor and .ib are not publicly recognized TLDs. They can only be resolved by OACISS' authoritative DNS server for 128.223.202.0/24, which is only accessible by the same subnet.


If a racked OACISS node is connected to the storage network, this interface will have a private name.stor DNS record (e.g. ''delphi.stor''). If the node has IPMI/LOM/iDRAC/ILO/BMC available, this will be reached under name-ipmi.stor (e.g. ''centaur-ipmi.stor''). These records resolve only from within the UO NIC subnet.
The following table describes at a glance the network line rates available host by host. Update 3/25: We are in the process of rolling out 40 and 100 Gbps ethernet to hosts, this table may become out of date.

OACISS hostnames and speeds

OACISS hardware may have several network connections. If the fully qualified public hostname is 'foo.nic.uoregon.edu' for the host named "foo", then relevant DNS entries are

  • foo.nic.uoregon.edu (or foo from within OACISS network) - the public (128.223.202.x) Ethernet interface
  • foo.stor - the private (172.17.202.x) Ethernet interface
  • foo.ib - the IPoIB interface, if the host has Infiniband

Obviously .stor and .ib are not publicly recognized TLDs. They can only be resolved by OACISS' authoritative DNS server for 128.223.202.0/24, which is only accessible by the same subnet.

The following table describes at a glance the network line rates available host by host. Update 3/25: We are in the process of rolling out 40 and 100 Gbps ethernet to hosts, this table may become out of date.

Machine Room Network Hardware

Ethernet

The NIC Ethernet setup has five switches, four 24-port Dell N4032 10Gbps units and one Dell 32-port z9100 100Gbps unit.

  • Dell N4032 x 2: Private network
    • Switches are stacked. R35 unit is master (#1) and R34 is failover/member (#2)
    • 40Gbps trunk link between racks (Fo1/1/1 and Fo2/1/1)
    • 40GbE to Mnemosyne (Fo1/1/2)
    • 40GbE to OacissBB (Fo2/1/2)
  • Dell PowerConnect 8024 + N4032: Public network
    • PC8024 in R34
      • 10Gbps UOnet uplink (Te1/0/1)
      • 2 ports LAG trunk to R35 (Te1/0/21 & 22)

Ethernet interfaces are associated with DNS records:

  • The public interface (e.g. FOO.nic.uoregon.edu)
  • The private interface with local-only DNS record (e.g. FOO.stor)

EDR Infiniband

OACISS has a 36 port SB7700 EDR Infiniband switch.

Hosts generally have either one or two EDR links to the switch, providing either 100 or 200Gbps connectivity.

Hosts with 200Gbps:

  • Cyclops
  • Gorgon
  • Eagle
  • Illyad
  • Gilgamesh

Hosts with 100Gbps:

  • Aurora (sx-aurora)
  • Pegasus
  • Godzilla
  • Voltar
  • Mnemosyne

Hosts within the NIC network will resolve the domain '.ib' in reference to the IPoIB interfaces which provide ~80Gbps connectivity after the encapsulation penalty. Please note, there is no need to specify host.ib in MPI host files order to have MPI utilize the IB interface; MPI will automatically detect and prefer the ultra-high-speed link unless it is explicitly disabled.

Planning is underway to connect all hosts to the Infiniband network at at least FDR speed.

Streisinger Network

Hosts living in Streisinger (Cerberus, Chymera, NUC and Jetson cluster) have 1/10GbE access to each other, and (apparently) 1G access to the outside world.
