I've seen similar issues with Cisco switches in IBM Cluster 1350 systems where the switch was in its default configuration. The fix was to configure each port pointing to a compute node as an "edge port" to suppress the switches instinct to (IIRC) try and snoop for spanning tree information when bringing the port up as that meant that the vital packets were being dropped. cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel - (03) 9925 4751 - Systems Manager The Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing P.O.
