I am not familiar with how psm may set CC parameters.

The latest version of infiniband-diags (1.6.0)[*] has 2 tools (ibccquery and ibccconfig) which will allow one to query and set the CC parameters. As you will note in the man page as well as the help output these tools are not to be used lightly. You can cause instability in your fabric if you set things wrong. However, when used properly they work well. In addition, Al Chu from LLNL has posted a patch to OpenSM which allows for the setting of CC parameters in OpenSM. Feedback from this patch has been minimal but Alex Netes (maintainer of OpenSM) says he will review it soon. (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg11615.html) Finally, if you are interested in the ongoing development of this and other features of Open Fabrics code you may want to sign up for the linux-rdma mailing list (linux-r...@vger.kernel.org or http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html).
