I am surprised that your googling did lead to you stumbling on dozens of
posts on this telling you that the config file
/etc/openmpi/openmpi-mca-params.conf (location for Debian etc)
can be changed to explicitly setting btl to 'no openib' as in
# Disable the use of InfiniBand
# btl = ^openib
btl = ^openib
which will suppress the warning by suppressing the load of IB. Better still,
newer Open MPI release do this by default.

That's one way of suppressing it, but not the only one.

There is nothing Rmpi can do there so contacting Dr Yu, while generally a
good idea with actual Rmpi issues, is not really advised here.
