We have recently encountered a problem with using openmpi 1.5.3, 1.5.4, and
1.6.2 over compute nodes with two different generations of Infiniband (DDR
and QDR).
This error is very similar to one posted to the list in 2011:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2011/06/16773.php
This issue was never resolved on the mailing list.
Here is the error:

At least one pair of MPI processes are unable to reach each other for
MPI communications. This means that no Open MPI device has indicated
that it can be used to communicate between these processes. This is
an error; Open MPI requires that all MPI processes be able to reach
each other. This error can sometimes be the result of forgetting to
specify the "self" BTL.
Process 1 ([[34066,1],1]) is on host: iwm-k43-30.pace.gatech.edu
Process 2 ([[34066,1],0]) is on host: iwtf-k43-28
BTLs attempted: self openib
Your MPI job is now going to abort; sorry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
MPI_INIT has failed because at least one MPI process is unreachable
from another. This *usually* means that an underlying communication
plugin -- such as a BTL or an MTL -- has either not loaded or not
allowed itself to be used. Your MPI job will now abort.
You may wish to try to narrow down the problem;
* Check the output of ompi_info to see which BTL/MTL plugins are
available.
* Run your application with MPI_THREAD_SINGLE.
* Set the MCA parameter btl_base_verbose to 100 (or mtl_base_verbose,
if using MTL-based communications) to see exactly which
communication plugins were considered and/or discarded.

[iwm-k43-30.pace.gatech.edu:9131] *** An error occurred in MPI_Init

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An MPI process is aborting at a time when it cannot guarantee that all
of its peer processes in the job will be killed properly. You should
double check that everything has shut down cleanly.
Reason: Before MPI_INIT completed
Local host: iwm-k43-30.pace.gatech.edu
PID: 9131
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun has exited due to process rank 1 with PID 9131 on
node iwm-k43-30 exiting improperly. There are two reasons this could occur:
1. this process did not call "init" before exiting, but others in
the job did. This can cause a job to hang indefinitely while it waits
for all processes to call "init". By rule, if one process calls "init",
then ALL processes must call "init" prior to termination.
2. this process called "init", but exited without calling "finalize".
By rule, all processes that call "init" MUST call "finalize" prior to
exiting or it will be considered an "abnormal termination"
This may have caused other processes in the application to be
terminated by signals sent by mpirun (as reported here).
