Thanx Malcolm (and Colin) for the pointers. I have the local filesystem up and running over the o2ib(ib0) network, using a single failnode and only the o2ib(ib0) network.
As Kaizaad mentioned though, we are in a situation where we need access to tcp over the ib device or abandon o2ib and run the local lfs as ipoib as well.
