as i told you before, i tried to create the configuration file automatically.

i created the OpenIB-Z-netdevX entries for flexibility: for example you have 2 HCAs in the host, and you want to use a specific one.
from other entries you can not be sure which specific HCA is being used.

I belive that you have much more experience than i have in using dapl, so i need your help with this issue:
which entries do you think that the dat.conf should have?

thanks
