This was what happened when I shutdown opensm as per you suggestion. I 
may have misunderstood. What I did was shutdown opensm and then checked 
the /sys/class/infiniband/mthca/ports/1/state to see what the status was 
for the node that usually runs opensm and then the other nodes. The 
master node when opensm was down was INIT. The other nodes were active. 
If I restarted opesm then the master node goes to ACTIVE.
