Morning fellow STHers, dying here w/ this IB switch issue buggin' me. Try to make this short and sweet. I have an IS5022 IB switch that I cannot for the life of me get to link up any lights on switch of HCA's. If I direct conn/crossover QSFP to each end of HCA's (ConnectX-2's) they link and opensm is happy.
Got quite the novel going on over here if you are interested in backlog/how this all started. That was posted in Virt/vSphere forum due to me wanting to do this vt-D but ran into a brick wall there, this is a more generic IB networking issue at this point so I figured I'd post here to see if it get's any more intelligent eyes over it. TIA and sorry for sharting in two threads.
Mellanox unhappy w/ vtD passthru in vSphere
HELP! Am I being a tard monkey, is this switch bad (hoping not, no red lights but I cannot get any console output either on typical 9600,8,n,1 config)?
Is there a IB noobie guide for next steps to bring some sanity to my madness? Sure would like a working IB fabric through the switch. I could flood us w/ screenshots but hoping you all know the trick.
TIA, whitey
EDIT: Do I need explicit opensm.conf GUID entries to simply make HCA's link light to switch, w/ direct-connect they quickly w/in 3-5 seconds go into master/standby state (running opensm on each node for sledgehammer sake)
