Abstract
System and method of assigning admin partition membership based on switch connectivity in a high performance computing environment. An exemplary embodiment can provide an admin partition for use in a subnet of a network fabric. The admin partition can be defined by a P_Key, and the P_Key can be stored in an admin partition registry. A subnet manager that executes from a node within the subnet can be provided. The subnet manager can obtain information that a subnet switch is associated with the admin partition. The subnet manager can also receive a list of identifiers (IDs), each identifier corresponding to a host channel adapter that is directly connected to the subnet switch. Each of the IDs from the list can be added to the admin partition registry and a relationship between each of the added IDs and the P_Key can be created in the registry.
