[ofa-general] Installing openIB on Linux FC5

[Hossein Pourreza]

Hi,

Many thanks for your reply. I really appreciate that.

Our cluster uses Mellanox Technologies MT23108 InfiniHost (rev a1) and Sun 9P switch. 
Out switch has its own SubnetManager and whenever I try to run opensm, I get an error 
saying that there is another sm running with a mismatch key.

The result of running ibstat is like this:

		CA type: MT23108
        Number of ports: 2
        Firmware version: 3.3.2
        Hardware version: a1
        Node GUID: 0x0003ba0001001788
        System image GUID: 0x0003ba000100178b
        Port 1:
                State: Active
                Physical state: LinkUp
                Rate: 10
                Base lid: 2
                LMC: 0
                SM lid: 1
                Capability mask: 0x00510a68
                Port GUID: 0x0003ba0001001789
		Port 2:
                State: Down
                Physical state: Polling
                Rate: 2
                Base lid: 0
                LMC: 0
                SM lid: 0
                Capability mask: 0x00510a68
                Port GUID: 0x0003ba000100178a

Is there anything wrong with this output?


Many thanks for your kind help
