[Beowulf] [EXT] fdr in edr switch

[Tina Friedrich]

Hi Michael,

for what it's worth... Although this sort of thing always makes me 
nervous, as well, it really should not cause trouble - whilst I haven't 
yet uplinked FDR into EDR as such I've done pretty much all of DDR into 
QDR, (QLogic) DDR & QDR into (Mellanox) FDR, Mellanox EDR into a 
TrueScale QDR fabric, ... and most of these involved GPFS. Don't think I 
ever had trouble caused by the speed mix.
