IMHO, if vstat shows the links as up, this is not an installation
problem but rather an ipoib problem.
 
Can you please run ipoib with trace and send us the logs (also, do you
have anything in the event viewer)?
 
Thanks
Tzachi

	Hi,

	 

	Should we have any problems installing Winof 2.1 on server 2008
hpc edition sp2? Or am I missing something. 

	 

	Have not attempted a WinOF install on Svr 2008 HPC sp2, although
I would not anticipate any problems.

	Try installing via 'start/wait msiexec /I WinOF_2-1_wlh_x64.msi
/Lv msi.log'. Grep log file for error.

	 

	The installation ends prematurely claiming that previous
installation was detected. 

	Is this a MSFT installer error message or a WinOF installer
error message?

	 

	I've exctracted the drivers from winof hpc x64 msi and installed
manually. 

	 

	Since you have already installed HCA drivers by hand, you want
to install WinOF with NO devices installed 

	  'start/wait msiexec /I WinOF_2-1_wlh_x64.msi NODEV=1'   # just
take the default install, no devices will be installed. 

	 

	The bus/hca/ipoib drivers were installed successfully, however
the ipoib network adapter shows status "disconnected" 

	State of cable disconnected indicates the SM has not
seen/configured --> Active port state. 

	 

	Opsnsm is running on linux node and shows all ports/nodes as
connected. Vstat on the nodes shows that ports that are physically
connected are up.   UP == Active port state? 

	 

	It is c-class hp blade with connectx gen2. firmware 2.6.1.

	 

	Any ideas how to fix ipoib connection?

	 

	Thanks,

	Anatoly.
