Hi,

If you want to disable fdr10, there is fdr10 option in opensm.conf which
should be set to 0:

# FDR10 on ports on devices that support FDR10
# Values are:
#    0: don't use fdr10 (no MLNX ExtendedPortInfo MADs)
#    Default 1: enable fdr10 when supported
#    2: disable fdr10 when supported
fdr10 0

You may need to bounce the links which are at fdr10 but the link would've
come up at FDR over FDR10 if that negotiation was successful so I don't
think changing fdr10 option will have an effect. Are your cables good for
FDR ?

I have no idea what is causing bad Qkey traps to the SM in your
configuration.
