Starting in the v1.3 series, we put in slightly better checks about
when to issue this warning or not. It *shouldn't* display the
warnings if the OpenFabrics drivers are not loaded.
Can you verify if your OpenFabrics drivers are loaded on your new, non-
IB nodes?

Hey,
We have a cluster with infiniband, and openmpi working happily.
We've just added some new nodes, with no ib. The scheduler has been
told to only schedule jobs onto those nodes, which don't span
nodes. Easy.
Except that openmpi warns the user that no openib was found, and
it's dropping back to another transport (possibly at a penalty).
This is no problem to me, but it worries our users for no reason.
My plan was to put some local openmpi mca config files on those
nodes that only allow sm,self,tcp which (I'd hope) would eliminate
the warning that it can't use openib. However our openmpi installs
are to a global fs.
Is it possible to put a line in the global $SYSCONFDIR/etc/openmpi-
mca-params.conf to tell it to also include a subsequent /etc/openmpi-
mca-params.conf
Any better ways of handling this would also be appreciated.
cheers,
/ Brett
