[ofa-general] sminfo report iberror in the first configuration on RHEL5.3

[Wen Hao Wang]

Hi all:

I changed my blade OS to RHEL5.3 yesterday and installed OFED (shipped in
RHEL5.3 image) by "yum groupisntall". Then I load some drivers and wrote
network interface configuration file ifcfg-ib0. ifup ib0 also succeeded.
But IB utilites report Connetion timed out.


[root at xblade06 network-scripts]# sminfo
ibwarn: [32593] _do_madrpc: recv failed: Connection timed out
ibwarn: [32593] mad_rpc: _do_madrpc failed; dport (Lid 9)
sminfo: iberror: failed: query

I had to reboot the blade and rerun "openibd start". Then sminfo reported
correct contents. I do not suppose this reboot is required. Did I miss any
configuration step?

Moreover, "openibd start" report one warning message about hwconf. Anyone
has comments about this?

[root at xblade07 ~]# /etc/init.d/openibd start
Loading OpenIB kernel modules:grep: /etc/sysconfig/hwconf: No such file or
directory
                                                           [  OK  ]

Thanks a lot!
