[OMPI users] [ofa-general] Re: openMPI over uDAPL doesn't work

[Andrew Friedley]

You say that fixes the problem, does it work even when running more than 
one MPI process per node? (that is the case the hack fixes)  Simply 
doing an mpirun with a -np paremeter higher than the number of nodes you 
have set up should trigger this case, and making sure to use '-mca btl 
udapl,self' (ie not SM or anything else).
