Not exactly sure what you mean by static or dynamic here as there are a
couple of interpretations. In any case, the current OpenIB OpenSM is
dynamic as to LIDs although it may preserve a previous setting if the SM
goes down and back up. The 1.8.0 OpenSM will store these persistently
and I think restore them. That merge is in process now but you could
have this will Mellanox Gold 1.8.0.

On a Set of PortInfo, the OpenIB IPoIB will reregister its multicast
group(s) for IPoIB. Are the ports active or not ?
