[openib-general] opensm

[James Lentini]

Hi Joe,

If you have a switch with an SM, you can use that one instead of 
opensm. This is the configuration I use, but only because was the 
simplest way for me to set things up. Others on this list will be able 
to help you if you want to use OpenSM.

A real quick test to see if you can communicate is to use ping.

If you built the IB stack as modules, load the IPoIB driver:

modprobe ib_mthca
modprobe ib_ipoib

Regardless of how you compiled the code, ifconfig the ib interfaces 
and then try a ping.
