The regular IP "ping" is being routed by an IP router, but that doesn't
work with IB networks, AFAIK.  The IB interfaces need to be on the same
subnet, you need to have an IB interface on each subnet configured on
each subnet (which might get ugly if you have a large number of subnets)
or you need to use LNet routers that are connected to each IB subnet to
do the routing (each subnet would be a separate LNet network, for example
10.82.142.202 at o2ib23 or whatever).

The other option would be to use the IPoIB layer with socklnd (e.g.
10.82.142.202 at tcp) but this would not run as fast as native verbs.

Cheers, Andreas

If you are using a 255.255.0.0 netmask, you should be fine.  But if you are using 255.255.255.0, then you will run into problems.  Lustre expects that all nodes on the same lnet network (o2ib1 in your case) will also be on the same IP subnet.
