Liang,
after executing following echo :
echo +neterror > /proc/sys/lnet/printk

now lctlt ping shows the following error

# lctl ping 172.24.198.112 at o2ib
failed to ping 172.24.198.112 at o2ib: Input/output error

Jan 16 10:24:14 p128 kernel: Lustre:

Looks like some problem with "IB connection manager" !

1. do we have any help docs to setup IPoIB and Lustre, lustre operation
manual has very minimal info about this . I think I am missing some IPoIB
setup part here.
2. or is it mannual assignment of  IP addresses to "ib0" is creating some
problem


*Some more supporting info :
*subnet manager of following version is also running : OpenSM 3.1.8

Initially I got this error for MDS mount

Jan 16 09:45:20 p128 kernel: LustreError:
4991:0:(linux-tcpip.c:124:libcfs_ipif_query()) Can't get IP address for
interface ib0

Jan 16 09:45:21 p128 kernel: LustreError: 105-4: Error -100 starting up LNI
o2ib
Jan 16 09:45:21 p128 kernel: LustreError:

Jan 16 09:45:21 p128 modprobe: WARNING: Error inserting ptlrpc

.
.
.

then I mannually set the IP address for ib0 as folows :
ifconfig ib0 172.24.198.111

[root at p186 ~]# ifconfig ib0
ib0       Link encap:InfiniBand  HWaddr
80:00:04:04:FE:80:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00
          inet addr:172.24.198.112  Bcast:172.24.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:256
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

then it mounted sucessfully
