Hi Hal,

Machine A is powered on. It was after powering down machine B and OpenSM
with it that Machine A went weird.

/sys/class/infiniband/mthca0 exists on Machine A, contents is:
board_id  fw_ver    hw_rev     node_guid  ports      sys_image_guid
device    hca_type  node_desc  node_type  subsystem  uevent


Thanks,

Rob

Does /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0 exist on machine A ? If so, what
files are there ?
