[openib-general] building and running IBMgtsim?

[Chris Elmquist]

Folks,

I am trying to build and run IBMgtsim so that I can explore some different
topologies and system sizes.  But I am having a lot of trouble getting
OpenSM to work with the simulator.

I pulled down Eitan's ibutils git tree (to get the simulator) and
am otherwise using the OFED 1.1 tarball for the rest of the stuff.
I suspect I have a problem with OpenSM not being built correctly to use
the simulator.

Does anyone have a recipe on how to build and install all of these pieces
(ie, openib, openSM and ibmgtsim) so that they will work together?

I have been just trying to run one of the tests provided with the
simulator like this:

% cd ~/ibutils/ibmgtsim/tests
% RunSimTest -c OsmTest.check.tcl -f OsmTest.sim.tcl -t IS1-16.topo -o /usr/local/bin/opensm

but we get this sort of output:

-I- Simulation directory is: /tmp/ibmgtsim.29716
-I- Calling IBMgtSim -s 43204 -V 0xA3 -t /root/ibutils/ibmgtsim/tests/IS1-16.top
