Hi Moritz,
I would answer you in german, as I'm here in the University of Greifswald,
but we should keep the mailing lists international usability.
Pls send me the output of:
>ifconfig -a
>cat /sys/class/net/ib0/mode
>cat /sys/class/net/ib0/mtu
What Infiniband hardware do you have (HCA,Switch)?
How u installed it? (have u used OFED?)
Have you thought of installing the IPoIB driver? <- needed for resolution of
ip-addresses to the right infiniband-addresses.
Have you tried the ib tools like ping etc, did they work??
Let me know
Norman Geist.
