Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for switching an NC link, a processor system, and a node, where the processor system includes more than two nodes capable of communicating with each other, each node includes a node controller NC chip, a host bus adapter HBA apparatus, and at least one CPU, the NC chip is connected to each CPU in a node where the NC chip is located, and the HBA apparatus is connected to each CPU in a node where the HBA apparatus is located; an NC link borne by the NC chip is corresponding to an HBA link borne by the HBA apparatus. By using an HBA apparatus to deploy a redundant link, the cost of deploying the redundant link is reduced effectively under a premise of ensuring the reliability of the processor system.
