Unified Fabric Manager (UFM) is a specific product suite that is widely used in high-performance computing to manage and optimize InfiniBand networks. The recommended size of the cluster for using UFM depends on several factors:
- Management requirements: When a cluster is large, manual management and maintenance may become difficult. UFM can automate many routine operations and provide in-depth analysis and monitoring capabilities to improve operational efficiency. For smaller clusters, it may also be beneficial for management and tuning.
- Economic considerations: For small clusters, you may not need to invest in the economic cost of purchasing a complex management platform like UFM. However, if the cluster size is medium or larger (such as 50-100 nodes or more), it may be more economical to invest in a UFM because it can save a lot of management and maintenance labor time.
- Performance requirements: Using UFM can effectively optimize network communication, thereby improving application performance. If your application has high-performance requirements, it may be beneficial to use UFM, regardless of the size of your cluster.
- Error diagnosis and firmware upgrades: In large clustered environments, error diagnosis and firmware upgrades can be complicated. UFM can provide automated tools to help diagnose and fix problems, as well as handle firmware upgrades, which can be especially valuable in large clustered environments.
