Right now, there's no way to force a particular connection pattern on
the openib btl at run-time. The startup sequence has gotten
sufficiently complicated / muddied over the years that it would be
quite difficult to do so. Pasha is in the middle of revamping parts
of the openib startup (see http://bitbucket.org/pasha/ompi-ofacm/); it
*may* be desirable to fully clean up the full openib btl startup
sequence when he's all finished.

Hi all,
I am working on multi-rail IB and I was wondering how connections are
established between ports. I have two hosts, each with 2 ports on a
same IB card, connected to the same switch.
My question is : how ports are connected between them ? Is there a
queue
pair between all ports or only between ports of the same number (for
example, Host A => port 1 <===> port 1 <= Host B and Host A => port 2
<===> port 2 <= Host B or maybe Host A => port 1 <===> port 2 <=
Host B
and Host A => port 2 <===> port 1 <= Host B) ? Is it possible to force
the connection scheme on the openib btl ?
Thanks
Mouhamed
