Network direct provider problem

  hi all,

   

  I have a 3 nodes Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster connected by Infiniband network.

  The HCAs are Silversotrm 9000 SDR (mt25208 updatetd with the latest Mellanox firmware).

  I have tested the IB drivers/stack with the tools (vstat, ib_send_bw, etc.) provided by Mellanox

  WinIB 1.4 beta and it works.

  Unfortunatly the Network Direct provider doesn't work with HPC Pack.

  The provider is correctly installed:

   

  ##############################################################

  D:\>"c:\Program Files\Mellanox\WinIB\IPoIB\NDI\ndinstall.exe" -l
  0000001001 - MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]
  0000001002 - MSAFD Tcpip [UDP/IP]
  0000001003 - MSAFD Tcpip [RAW/IP]
  0000001004 - MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IPv6]
  0000001005 - MSAFD Tcpip [UDP/IPv6]
  0000001006 - MSAFD Tcpip [RAW/IPv6]
  0000001007 - RSVP TCPv6 Service Provider
  0000001008 - RSVP TCP Service Provider
  0000001009 - RSVP UDPv6 Service Provider
  0000001010 - RSVP UDP Service Provider
  0000001021 - OpenIB Network Direct Provider

  ##############################################################

   

  But when I try to use any of the ND tools installed by HPC Pack 2008 SDK

  I get an error when the NdOpenIAdapter is called. For example:

   

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 SDK\Network Direct\Bin\amd64>ndping.exe s 11.0.0.1 18000 b
  Beginning test: ndping.exe
  NdOpenIAdapter failed with c0000141  Line: 80

   

  Moreover the Admin Console of HPC Pack 2008 shows the Infiniband interface working as MPI network

  with Network Direct disabled while (as I shown above) ndinstall.exe shows that it's working...

  As expected the performace of MPI programs are very poor. :-(

   

  Does anybody can help?

   

  Thanks in advance.

  Alessandro
