[ofa-general] GPFS node loses IB-connection

Hi,
 
We are running GPFS with SDP. For this we use OFED 1.2-rc1. The machines are IBM x3755's and x3655's. The IB-switch is a SFS-7000P. The HCA's are all "Mellanox Technologies MT25208 InfiniHost III Ex (rev a0)".
 
Under heavy load, we sometimes lose a node from our GPFS cluster.
The machine that lost connection (=10.224.158.104 or gpfswhbe1s1) gave this error:
May 18 13:02:51 gpfswhbe1s1 mmfs: Error=MMFS_PHOENIX, ID=0xAB429E38, Tag=4997901:   Reason code 668 Failure Reason Lost membership in cluster enterprise.universe. Unmounting file systems.
May 18 13:02:51 gpfswhbe1s1 mmfs: Error=MMFS_PHOENIX, ID=0xAB429E38, Tag=4997901:   
 
After this, we got the following message on some of the nodes that are part of the cluster (including the failing node):
GPFS Deadman Switch timer [0] has expired; IOs in progress: 0

       <ffffffff8010a7be>{system_call+126}

Not all of them give the tracelog at the end.
 
GPFS then gives the following errors:

We found this in the logs of the switch:

We are sure this is gpfswhbe1s1, as the number is the same as the node_guid+1:

                        port_lmc:               0x00

 
Does anyone have a clue what happened?
The error does not come up very often. So we can't reproduce it easily.
 
We believe the HCA on gpfswhbe1s1 caused the probem, but we can't really see it. 
All help is appreciated!

Koen
