System and method for controlled re-cabling and link testing for switches and switch ports in a high performance computing network

Systems and methods can provide a switch mode that is similar to "boot in progress", but that is admin (e.g., administrator) controllable. This mode can ensure that an admin can perform re-cabling and cable test operations for any single switch in an operational subnet (e.g., an InfiniBand...

Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods can provide a switch mode that is similar to "boot in progress", but that is admin (e.g., administrator) controllable. This mode can ensure that an admin can perform re-cabling and cable test operations for any single switch in an operational subnet (e.g., an InfiniBand subnet) without causing unnecessary subnet re-routing and re-configuration operations.
