Hi Ralph,

Yes, it’s been a long time. Hope you all are doing well (I believe so ☺ ).

I’m working on a virtualization project, and need to run Open MPI on an 
unikernel OS (most of OFED is missing/unsupported).

Actually I’m only focusing on 1.10.2, which still has oob in ompi. Probably it 
might be possible to make oob work there? Or even for 1.10 branch (as Gilles 
metioned)?
Do you have any clue about the bug in oob back then?

Regards,
Shiqing

Hi Shiqing!

Been a long time - hope you are doing well.

I see no way to bring the oob module back now that the BTLs are in the OPAL 
layer - this is why it was removed as the oob is in ORTE, and thus not 
accessible from OPAL.

Dear all,

I noticed that openib oob module has been removed since a long time ago, 
because it wasn’t working anymore and nobody seemed need it.
But for some special operating system, where the rdmacm, udcm or ibcm kernel 
support is missing, oob may still be necessary.

I’m curious if it’s possible to bring this module back? How difficult would it 
be to fix the bug in order to make it work again in 1.10 branch or later? 
Thanks a lot.

Best Regards,
Shiqing
