Hi all:

I changed my blade OS to RHEL5.3 yesterday and installed OFED (shipped in RHEL5.3 image) by "yum groupisntall". Then I load some drivers and wrote network interface configuration file ifcfg-ib0. ifup ib0 also succeeded. But IB utilites report Connetion timed out.


[r...@xblade06 network-scripts]# sminfo
ibwarn: [32593] _do_madrpc: recv failed: Connection timed out
ibwarn: [32593] mad_rpc: _do_madrpc failed; dport (Lid 9)
sminfo: iberror: failed: query

I had to reboot the blade and rerun "openibd start". Then sminfo reported correct contents. I do not suppose this reboot is required. Did I miss any configuration step?

Moreover, "openibd start" report one warning message about hwconf. Anyone has comments about this?

[r...@xblade07 ~]# /etc/init.d/openibd start
Loading OpenIB kernel modules:grep: /etc/sysconfig/hwconf: No such file or directory
[ OK ]

Thanks a lot!

Sounds to me as if you haven't any Subnet Manager (OpenSM or managed switch) running.
$sminfo
sminfo: sm lid 2 sm guid 0x8f1040041254a, activity count 751941 priority 3 state 3 SMINFO_MASTER
$ sminfo -P 2
ibwarn: [17975] mad_rpc: _do_madrpc failed; dport (Lid 3945)
sminfo: iberror: failed: query

(we don't have any SM on the subnet connected to port 2)

Your reboot might have started OpenSM. Thus making it works
