I don't think this is right either. Excluding a device that doesn't exist has many use cases. Such as disabling a network that only exists on part of the cluster. I'm not sure about what to do with seq; it's more like include than exclude. Brian Sent with Good (www.good.com) -Origina

Jeff, So far, all interfaces specified via MCA parameters for the BTL TCP are required to exist. Otherwise an error message is printed and an error returned to the upper level, with the intent that no BTLs of this type will be enabled (as an example btl_tcp_component.c:682). If I correctly unders

+1. Nathan and I have been talking about this for quite a while. Note that this is the first of several updates that we will have for the MCA param system -- we have a roadmap that can be easily described as two groups of things: 1. Changes that are intended for v1.7.x: everything to support M
