Yeah, I noticed that when I compared it to an OFED install; in this particular IB stack, the "blank" field goes to the "default" value, so while it looks like an issue, it isn't. (On this stack, the blank is equivalent of having "InfiniHost0 ib1" - and yes, the names aren't what you'd expect, which makes support even more difficult...) > Also, I did see a problem when running with less than ofed 1.2 which I > did not pursue because v1.2 worked.

If you've only used 1.2 (and hence, coded/tested for uDAPL 1.2), then I wouldn't be suprised if that's the reason why it isn't working. MVAPICH2's uDAPL support is 1.2 or greater, so I wouldn't be suprised if the story is similar for Open MPI. I'd add that it may be useful to others to mention what version(s) of uDAPL work with Open MPI in the documentation or FAQ. -- Troy Telford
