[ofa-general] GPFS node loses IB-connection

[SEGERS Koen]

GPFS keeps its connection constantly open.

 

We did some more tests with iperf:

If we don't run bidirectional tests, all connections keeps running
smoothly. If we add bidirectional tests, it becomes unstable. Certainly
if this is done on multiple nodes. Is this normal?

 

The failed iperf tests give the same error in the switch log:

RC3 is just installed. Results will follow soon.

does the application constantly open and close connections?
