Hi Yevgeny,
Thanks for your answer.

Ok, you were partially right: I forgot I have another opensm running on 
another wxp64 machine.
So, I created /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ib0, ifup ib0 and then I 
successfully ping'ed the two machines each other. Good.
I remember the days when I had to download OFED sources, fight to compile 
them, and spend hours to get IPoIB running, and now all of this is ready out 
of the box, in rpms from the distribution, ready to install with the package 
manager.
All of you have done a great work. Thanks!!


That said, I really need opensm on this machine, so I will shut down opensm 
on the wxp machine now.

No opensm process is running on this machine.

sminfo: (while opensm is running on wxp64 machine)
-----
Server19:~ # sminfo
ibpanic: [4969] madrpc_init: can't open UMAD port ((null):0): (No such file 
or directory)
Server19:~ #
-----

/etc/init.d/opensmd start have the same behavior and same errors as when the 
opensm on wxp64 was running.



Do you have other ideas on what can I do to solve this?

Thanks,
Diego
