On proxmox gui site visible ibp2s0 with 192.168.40.221/24. When starting opensm on proxmox :

On windows site Mellanox has assigned 192.168.40.22/24, after opensm.exe I get :Entering STANBY state. If i run opensm on windows first then get :

SUBNET UP

Cant ping between windows and proxmox ? connection can't be established. Need expert advise ;).................
 
Ok, ibping done succesfull - two lids show up (windows and proxmox machines) after typing ibnetdiscover.

Now its time to setup file exchange using only infiniband protocol. Any ideas ?
