Yes, I am trying to reset from the peer HCA port. Is anything wrong with 
this?

It remains the same, the switch port is DOWN forever. No SMP massage could 
get to the switch port.

This is seperate issue. The "reset" command is tested on a single port HCA 
directly connected with Qlogic siwth. The HCA is plugged into a Linux 
machine. It is the simplest test environment.

Are you resetting the switch from the peer HCA port or some other port
? That's what Nicolas asked but I might have missed the answer.

Also, try disable (wait) and then enable and see if that works. If I
recall correctly, you had those links which are taking a long time to
initialize. If the link stays down forever after disable, this won't
work but I want to be sure.
