Our investigation showed a couple of things. When we pulled our systems off into a small cluster and ran opensm, things were fine. The cache was working as normal, and we did get loopback paths from opensm. On our development cluster, the cache was never getting any path records. It would issue a GetTable query, and the SM would respond. The response had a status of 0 (success), but never returned any path records. I believe that the SM node is running OFED 1.1.1. I don't have the ability to modify the kernel on the larger 64-node cluster that we were testing on to see what is going on there. - Sean _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
