Abstract: Generally disclosed herein is an approach for smart topology-aware link disabling and user job rescheduling strategies for online network repair of broken links in high performance networks used in supercomputers that are common in Machine Learning (ML) and High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications.

Based on the catalog, the systems management console/application determines a custom firmware update that will normalize each member of the cluster to one another and forwards the custom update to the cluster leader.
