So, just a heads up to anyone else that runs into this - InfiniBand is 
relatively light on information.

To get infiniband working, you HAVE to have an application called Subnet 
Manager running.  We have deployed it on one of our Windows boxes that is 
connected to the InfiniBand switch.  Simply starting the Subnet Manager brings 
everything to life.  It's basically a control application for the entire 
InfiniBand switch.

Not exactly sure why it is deployed like this (I figured - hey, it's a switch, 
plug it in and it'll work) but it's definately something that I never new about.

Anyway, for anyone else out there that is new to InfiniBand - Make sure you 
have Subnet Manager running on at least one of the systems connected to your 
InfiniBand switch, or else nothing will work.
