Using the GUI, yes, IPoIB works fine. We've got two nodes running on GPFS from manual installs. Looks like it's a MT26428
These are IBM branded cards with their own firmware on them. The Mellanox OEM and general drivers don't load at all on 
these cards, we've had to push IBM to say they will support the OFED drivers.
