I already tried this parameter, but I don't see any improvements in the benchmarks. Additionally while doing further investigations into the opensm I didn't see the QP requests for other LIDs than the base LIDs.

Yes, check out the btl_openib_max_lmc MCA parameter:

Hello,

the InfiniBand architecture has a LMC feature to assign mutiple virtual LIDs to 
one port and so provides multiple paths between two ports. Is there a methode 
in openmpi to enable message-striping over these paths to increase bandwidth or 
avoid congestions?
(I don't mean the multirail feature, to split traffic across two ports of one 
Hca)
The only function I have found, was to enable automatic path migration over 
lmc, but this is only for failover, if I remember rightly.

Regards,
Jens
