<div>The 2.10 release added support for multi-rail LNet, which may potentially be causing problems here. I would suggest to install an older LNet version on your routers to match your client/server. </div>

</span>Those parameters will only get applied to omnipath interfaces (which you dont have), so everything you have should just be running with default parameters. Since your lnet routers have a different version of lustre than your servers/clients, it might
be possible that the default values for the ko2iblnd parameters are different between the two versions. You can always check this by looking at the values in the files under /sys/module/ko2iblnd/<wbr>parameters. It might be worthwhile to compare those values
on the lnet routers to the values on the servers to see if maybe there is a difference that could affect the behavior.<br>
