In this situation, the best solution is to setup OrangeFS using TCP/IP, which is the default communication protocol, and setup infiniband as IB over TCP.
OrangeFS is capable of understanding IB and TCP at the same time; however, there is a performance hit. So, in a production environment, you don't want to run OrangeFS in this way.
