<p class=MsoNormal>I am trying to send messages between two systems that have
1.5.1 (recent daily) and IBM an bladecenter system with three blades.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If the IBM blades are at 1.4.1 or 1.5 they can come up on
the (apparently self managed QDR switch) but exhibit many retry errors when the
1.5.1 system performs writes to them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If the IBM blades are installed at 1.5.1 they are not
recognized by the embedded switch and stay at init.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><br>
Has anyone seen this. Part of it sounds like the problems Tom is seeing.<o:p></o:p></p>
