To my knowledge there has been no pvfs2 support written for the topspin library?

The error there is saying the server is confused on how to startup all the IB stuff.

I've also seen the following error when the config files are misconfigured.
[E 03/20 13:25] src/io/bmi/bmi.c line 1841: Error: no method available for bmi_ib.

I could be wrong though on this, as I'm not familiar with the topspin/vapi stack. I dont know if anyone else has used the topspin stack yet here.. It seems to be building.. Maybe pete can shed some light on this.

I've built and installed pvfs-2.6.2 on x86_64 (RHEL 4) with Cisco/Topspin cards and software stack.

topspin-ib-rhel4-3.2.0-118
topspin-ib-mod-rhel4-2.6.9-42.ELsmp-3.2.0-118

./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.EL-smp-x86_64 --with-ib=/usr/local/topspin --with-ib-includes=/usr/local/topspin/include/vapi

Everything builds fine and I install with
make install
make kmod_install

However after configuring the metadata and IO nodes, I try to start the server and get this in the server log.

I saw a similar post in the February archives, but that was for Infinipath and I didn't see a final answer to the question that was posted. Any ideas here? The pvfs2-server binary is built against the topspin libraries.
