The lines with ko2iblnd-opa are intended for OmniPath hardware.  Since you are using IB, you will want to just set your options like this:

options ko2iblnd peer_credits=…, etc.

Have you verified that the firewall is not running?  It’s possible a firewall might be allowing ping traffic but blocking the port needed by Lustre.
