Hi Kyle,

yes, from the fileserver I can do ibv_rc_pingpong from/to hosts in both subnets. The only thing I have to do is to specify the IB port on the fileserver when I test a node on the 2nd subnet (which is connected to the 2nd IB port in the fileserver).

There is no IB router between those two subnets. The fileservers are just connected to each subnet with their dualport HCA.

 Oliver Weihe

Are your ofed utilities allowing you to at least ping between the subnets?
Ibv_rc_pingpong, etc?
Do you have an ib router in between the subnets?

Hello,

I have some fileservers which should export an PVFS (2.8.1) into two Infiniband subnets (2 clusters, each has its own subnet/switch). The fileservers have dualport Infiniband HCAs, one port is connected to each subnet.

The clients in the subnet where the fileservers are connected to with their first IB port are able to mount the PVFS2 while the clients in the other subnet where the fileservers are connected to with their second IB port get timeouts and are unable to mount/pvfs2-ping.

The fileservers have NO IP-over-IB configured, I'm using the IP addresses/hostnames of the ethernet network in the pvfs2-fs.conf.

PVFS 2.8.1 configure options I've used:
./configure --prefix=/opt/pvfs2 --without-bmi-tcp \
--with-openib=/opt/ofed/ --with-kernel=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/
