Thanks for the response, Pasha. Yes, I agree this is some issue with the
IB network. I came to the list looking for some previous experience of
other users... I wonder why 10.2.1.90 works with all other nodes,
10.2.1.50 works with all other nodes as well, but they can't work
together. Maybe OFED lists will be more appropriate for this kind of
question.
Regards,
Rafael
