We already have 16 infinipath HCA's installed.But can't use OFED as
pathscale's mpi , pathcc and pathf90 will not work with other IB drivers and
we paid a lot of money for these.I tried IPoIB but still performance
improvement is not much significatant.

Well, o2iblnd presently doesn't work very well with pathscale cards, see
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12149

Even if this is fixed, the pathscale cards only cause trouble, kernel
oopses,
slowness, etc. If you want to help clusterfs and Pathscale to improve
o2iblnd
and pathscale drivers, go ahead and buy these cards, if you want to work
with
your system better take Mellanox cards.
