Hi
OpenMPI does not pick up the infiniband component on our nodes with
Mellanox cards:
ompi_info --param btl openib
returns
MCA btl: parameter "btl_base_debug" (current value: "0")
If btl_base_debug is 1 standard debug is output, if > 1 verbose
debug is output
MCA btl: parameter "btl" (current value: "mx,self,sm")
Default selection set of components for the btl framework
(<none> means "use all components that can
be found")
MCA btl: parameter "btl_base_verbose" (current value: "0")
Verbosity level for the btl framework (0 = no verbosity)
MCA btl: parameter "btl_base_warn_component_unused" (current value: "1")
This parameter is used to turn on warning messages when certain
NICs are not used
Note that the btl parameter has the value "mx,self,sm".
I have configured openmpi-1.2.5 with the --with-openib=dir and
--with-mx=dir switches
and with ofed-1.2. This is part of the config output:
--- MCA component btl:mx (m4 configuration macro)

It appears the configuraion for both interconnects succeeded.
Why does ompi_info find the mx btl instead of openib?
Thanks for any advice
