Abstract

System and method for representing performance management agent (PMA) attributes as subnet management agent (SMA) attributes in a high performance computing environment. In general legacy systems, performance metrics, as collected by a performance management agent, can only be collected via the use of general data packets traversing a subnet. In accordance with an embodiment, by configuring a SMA attribute to comprise the same performance metrics as collected by a PMA, a subnet manager, or another management component, can access the performance metrics in-band via the use of a subnet management packet.
