Hi all -

I'm new to infiniband and still getting my feet wet.  I am admining a very
small cluster of 5 nodes, and have recently installed infiniband HCAs.  I
have the infiniband modules built into the kernel, and I am using the
openib-userspace package in the gentoo-science overlay.

The strange thing with my situation is that I have infiniband working with
openmpi on 4 of my 5 nodes, but the 5th one is a mystery.

All 4 working nodes have a /dev/infiniband directory that look roughly like
this:

crw-rw---- 1 root root 231,  64 Dec 31 09:13 issm0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 231, 224 Dec 31 09:13 ucm0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 231,   0 Dec 31 09:13 umad0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 231, 192 Dec 31 09:13 uverbs0


But the 5th node doesn't, which could indicate the problem (it isn't
completely the problem, as I tried making those nodes myself to match, but
it doesn't help).  I'm just not sure what the difference is, because I
installed them all the same way, they all have the same hardware, and they
are all running the same kernel.

All 5 nodes have the same thing in the /sys/class/infiniband directory.

Here's the mpirun I am trying:

mpirun -np 2 -mca btl self,openib -machinefile burn_machine_file ./loadtest
[burn-3][0,1,1][btl_openib_component.c:437:init_one_hca] error obtaining

If you specified the use of a BTL component, you may have

Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks.
