Hello,

I am attempting to get Open MPI to run over 2 nodes using a switch and a
single breakout cable with this design:

(100GbE)QSFP <----> 2x (50GbE)QSFP       

 

Hardware Layout:

Breakout cable module A connects to switch (100GbE)

Breakout cable module B1 connects to node 1 RoCE NIC (50GbE)

Breakout cable module B2 connects to node 2 RoCE NIC (50GbE)

Switch is Mellanox SN 2700 100GbE RoCE switch

 

*         I  am able to pass RDMA traffic between the nodes with perftest
(ib_write_bw) when using the breakout cable as the IC from both nodes to the
switch.

*         When attempting to run a job using the breakout cable as the IC
Open MPI aborts with failure to initialize open fabrics device errors.

*         If I replace the breakout cable with 2 standard QSFP cables the
Open MPI job will complete correctly.  

 

 

This is the command I use, it works unless I attempt a run with the breakout
cable used as IC:

mpirun --mca btl openib,self,sm --mca btl_openib_receive_queues
P,65536,120,64,32 --mca btl_openib_cpc_include rdmacm  -hostfile
mpi-hosts-ce /usr/local/bin/IMB-MPI1

 

If anyone has any idea as to why using a breakout cable is causing my jobs
to fail please let me know.

 

Thank you,
