[Beowulf] How to know if infiniband network works?

[Faraz Hussain]

Thanks for everyone's help. Using the Ohio State tests, qperf and  
perfquery I am convinced the IB network is working. The only thing  
that still bothers me is I can not get mpirun to use the tcp network.  
I tried all combinations of --mca btl to no avail. It is not  
important, more just curiosity.
