ok, that makes sense. 

So this brings up another question. ibnetdiscover is plenty fast, and 
opensm is plenty slow. What kind of messaging could I do once i have a 
network all worked out via ibnetdiscover? 

In other words, could I have a usage of infiniband that worked something 
like this;
- ibnetdiscover, save that info
- message layer uses that info and does communications over ib

also, what's the next step to finding the problem here? OK, ibnetdiscover 
works. opensm does not. What tool would you run next to look for problems?
