I'm not using Mellanox OFED because the card is a Marvell OCP type 25Gb/s 2-port LAN Card.
Kernel drivers used are: qede + qedr Beside that, I did a quick test on two nodes installing CentSO 7.6 and: ofed_info -s OFED-4.17-1: and now the error message is different: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[30578,1],1]: A high-performance Open MPI point-to-point messaging module was unable to find any relevant network interfaces: Module: OpenFabrics (openib) Host: node001 Another transport will be used instead, although this may result in lower performance. NOTE: You can disable this warning by setting the MCA parameter btl_base_warn_component_unused to 0. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________________________ From: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) <jsquy...@cisco.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2019 7:16:41 PM To: Open MPI User's List Cc: Llolsten Kaonga; Matteo Guglielmi Subject: Re: [OMPI users] qelr_alloc_context: Failed to allocate context for device.
