<p>Hi all:<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<br>
[root@xblade06 network-scripts]# sminfo<br>
ibwarn: [32593] _do_madrpc: recv failed: Connection timed out<br>
ibwarn: [32593] mad_rpc: _do_madrpc failed; dport (Lid 9)<br>
sminfo: iberror: failed: query<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
Moreover, "openibd start" report one warning message about hwconf. Anyone has comments about this?<br>
<br>
[root@xblade07 ~]# /etc/init.d/openibd start<br>
Loading OpenIB kernel modules:grep: /etc/sysconfig/hwconf: No such file or directory<br>
[ OK ]<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot!<br>
