Thanks for your answer. That's right - EoIB isn't in the kernel. I installed module from Mellanox OFED package and even there it's marked as unstable... OS is CentOS 6.4. At the moment I've also an open support case with Mellanox trying to solve the connectivity issue. So I have support from official site, but was thinking maybe someone has already experience with such a setup and also had some issues/tipps for me... My problem is some sort of a bridge or maybe MAC translation issue (unsure cause of a lot of unanswered ARP requests in tcpdump and bridge is working on Ethernet interfaces). I have bridge ovirtmgmt on eth2 interface (eth2 is a (virtual) ethernet interface bound to the Infiniband-interface) with an IP address configured on it. Hosts can reach each other, so ethernet to infiniband translation seems to work. But when I create a vm in oVirt this vm can only communicate with IPs/vms on the bridge. This mean I can ping the IP of the host and other vms on this bridge, but no host behind the bridge (like e.g. other hosts or vms on other hosts)...
