Can OpenMPI do like Scali and MVAPICH2 and utilize 2 IB HCAs per machine

Yes. OMPI will automatically (and aggressively) use as many active
ports as you have. So you shouldn't need to list devices+ports --
OMPI will simply use all ports that it finds in the active state. If
your ports are on physically separate IB networks, then each IB
network will require a different subnet ID so that OMPI can compute
reachability properly.
Does this apply to all fabrics, or, at which level is this implemented
in ompi? (ie: multiple GigE nics...but I doubt it applies given the
restricted intricacies of the IP implementation)
