[ewg] infinipath rpms???

[rdauria at ucla.edu]

Hello All,

I need to build, in a shared cluster location, openMPI 1.3.2 with PSM  
support (on top of OFED 1.4.1) since some of the nodes on our mixed  
fabric IB cluster have Qlogic InfiniPath_QLE7240 HCAs.

I have noticed that the OFED 1.4.1 stack does not contain the  
infinipath rpms such as:
infinipath-2.3-5347.923_rhel5_qlc.x86_64.rpm,
infinipath-libs-2.3-5347.923_rhel5_qlc.x86_64.rpm, and
mpi-devel-2.3-5347.923_rhel5_qlc.noarch.rpm
and I think that without these rpms you can't build openmpi with PSM support.

Are you not supporting the Qlogic InfiniPath_QLE7240 HCAs?

Can I use the RPMs generated with the qlogic provided  
QLogicIB-Basic.4.4.1.0.37 package INSTALL script (even though they  
refer to the OFED 1.4 stack and the openmpi 1.2.8)?

Please notice that without the PSM support openMPI on qlogic  
InfiniPath_QLE7240 cards fails on AlltoAll MPI calls (see my previous  
message "need HELP with: error polling LP CQ with status RETRY  
EXCEEDED ERROR status number 12"). While the PSM support takes care of  
the problem.

Thanks,

Raffaella.
