What would be a place to look? Should this just be default then for

The other IB guys can probably answer better than I can -- I'm not an
expert in this part of IB (or really any part I guess :).  Not sure
why
a larger value isn't the default.  No, its not seconds -- check the
description of the MCA parameter:

4.096 microseconds * (2^btl_openib_ib_timeout)

You sure?
ompi_info --param btl openib

MCA btl: parameter "btl_openib_ib_timeout" (current value: "10")
                           InfiniBand transmit timeout, in seconds
(must be >= 1)

Yeah:

MCA btl: parameter "btl_openib_ib_timeout" (current value: "10")
          InfiniBand transmit timeout, plugged into formula:
          4.096 microseconds * (2^btl_openib_ib_timeout)(must be
= 0 and <= 31)

Reading earlier in the thread you said OMPI v1.2.0, I got this from a
trunk checkout thats around 3 weeks old.  A quick check shows this
description was changed between 1.2.0 and 1.2.1.  However the use of
this parameter hasn't changed -- it's simply passed along to IB verbs
when creating a queue pair (aka a connection).
