I'm not sure what you're saying here. There is a large difference between "--mca a,b,c" and "--mca a,b". In the former, all 3 communication methods will be used (a, b, and c). In the latter, only 2 will be used (a and b). To be clear, if you explicitly list which BTLs to use, OMPI will only (try to) use exactly those and no others. For your specific issue, I don't think there's much we can do with regards to the 1.2 series -- it's so ancient that unless you have a support contract with someone, we really don't offer public/mailing list support for it any more. :-( -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
