It *should* work. We stopped developing for the Cisco (mVAPI) stack
a while ago, but as far as we know, it still works fine. See:
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=openfabrics#vapi-support
That being said, your approach of "it ain't broke, don't fix it" is
certainly quite reasonabl
Hmmm...compilation SEEMED to go OK with the following .configure...
./configure --prefix=/nfsutil/openmpi-1.2.3
--with-mvapi=/usr/local/topspin/ CC=icc CXX=icpc F77=ifort FC=ifort
CFLAGS=-m64 CXXFLAGS=-m64 FFLAGS=-m64 FCFLAGS=-m64
And the following looks promising...
./ompi_info | grep mvapi
