If you need to support more attachments you can set the value of that variable 
either by setting:

Environment:

OMPI_MCA_osc_rdma_max_attach


mpirun command line:

—mca osc_rdma_max_attach


Keep in mind that each attachment may use an underlying hardware resource that 
may be easy to exhaust (hence the low default limit). It is recommended to keep 
the total number as small as possible.
