I am using a switch which is running the SM. And I have some recollection of not being able to split the modes on the ports as well, but I can't remember which card that was on now. I also couldn't get QDR working, and I'm not sure why the switch wouldn't do it. When I directly connect the cards...
Just basic IB. I had to disable the RDMA driver load to get it to stop complaining. Not that I imagine my spindle drives are fast enough for it to matter.
