<p class="MsoNormal">Please do not ask why, but I need to be able to replace the IB stack (as in – all InfiniBand modules) at runtime with a Lustre FS mounted. Is there a possibility to tell lnet to completely switch to tcp, unload ko2iblnd.ko and next unload
the IB stack, load the new IB stack, load a matching ko2iblnd.ko and then switch lnet back to preferring o2ib?<o:p></o:p></p>
