When you change major RHEL release # and OFED version #, it's a pretty safe bet that you would need to rebuild Open MPI.
-Tom P.S. There was no Open Fabrics OFED 2.4 (Release #s jumped from 1.5 to 3.5) , so I guess this is a Mellanox OFED 2.4.

On RHEL 5 hosts which have OFED 1.5 installed, we have builds of OpenMPI 1.4.5 and 1.6.5 in place. On RHEL 6 hosts we have OFED 2.4 installed. Will we need to rebuild OpenMPI 1.4.5 and 1.6.5, or can our existing builds of such still work on the RHEL 6 hosts? --john
