[ofa-general] ***SPAM*** RE: Problem in IB network without Switch

[lakshmana swamy]

 Hi Jack,


 Yes, I  connected the cable between two ports of same HCA. Without running opensmd.

 Now the  State is " Initializing"

 I observed same state in other node also.

If cable is bad, it should not show this state right...

 Thanks
 laxman
