I've verified that ulimit -l is unlimited everywhere.

After further testing I think the errors are related to OFED not openmpi.
I've uninstalled the OFED that comes with SLES (1.4.0) and installed OFED 1.4.2 and 1.5-beta and I don't get the errors.

I got the idea to swap out OFED that after reading this:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/openfabrics-general/2008/11/3/3903184

Under OFED 1.4.0 (from SLES 11) I had to set options mlx4_core msi_x=0 in /etc/modprobe.conf.local to even get the mlx4 module to load.
I found that advice here:
http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447626+1254161827534+28353475&threadId=1361415
(Under 1.4.2 and 1.5-Beta the modules load fine without mlx4_core msi_x=0 being set)

Now my problem is that with OFED 1.4.2 and 1.5-beta the system hang and the GigE network stops working and I have to power cycle nodes to login.

I'm going to try to get some help from the OFED mailing list now.

Very strange. MPI tries to access CQ context and it get immediate error.
Please make sure that you limits configuration is ok, take a look on this FAQ - http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=openfabrics#ib-locked-pages

Hello,
   I just got some new cluster hardware :)  :(

I can't seem to overcome an openib problem
I get this at run time

    error polling HP CQ with -2 errno says Success

I've tried 2 different IB switches and multiple sets of nodes all on one switch or the other to try to eliminate the hardware. (IPoIB pings work and IB switches ree I've tried both v1.3.3 and v1.2.9 and get the same errors. I'm not really sure what these errors mean or how to get rid of them. My MPI application work if all the CPUs are on the same node (self btl only probably)

Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks.
