<P><FONT SIZE=2>I would suggest to use SNMP for the tasks below. IETF IPoIB group has defined an SNMP MIB that can support the required functionality below.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Everything but the dynamic partitioning (OpenSM does not have partition manager to this moment) and forwarding of Performance Monitoring traps (which are generated by the PM) can be done through osmsh or through SA client today.</FONT></P>
