We're using it with ~9300 clients running Lustre 1.6.6 and haven't  
identified any OFED 1.5.1-specific issues. If you're using 1.6.x and  
haven't done so already, you'll want to apply bug 19520 attach 23498.

We just deployed 1.8.2 on a separate cluster with ~130 clients and  
haven't seen any OFED-specific issues there, either. While we did see  
some failures when running acc-sm with the stack of software we use  
here, none of those had anything to do with the version of OFED we  
were running.

We're using SLES10 SP{2,3}, OFED bits built by SGI, not what's  
included in the distro.

Your mileage, of course, may vary :-)
