Hmmm, I don't have an opensm.opts file on my system. Does it go in /var/cache/osm? The man page mentions it and that it contains a "complete set" of configuration options. Since I don't have one, is it only needed if you want to change some default setting(s)? Is there an example file somewhere in the distribution?<br>
<br>From the output of sminfo, it looks like the default priority is 1, so I probably want to change that. But at least it is the master:<br><br>sminfo: sm lid 15 sm guid 0x5ad0000094076, activity count 1359786 priority 1 state 3 SMINFO_MASTER<br>
