As discussed last month, the following changes have now been made for IB
management (master branch of my management git tree):

In order to better match package names, the following directory names have
been changed from->to:
	osm->opensm
	diags->infiniband-diags

Still pending are the following changes:

Since opensm is a system daemon, opensm is to be moved from /usr/bin to /usr/sbin
Similarly for the infiniband-diags.

For consistency with the package name, /var/cache/osm moved to
/var/cache/opensm

Also, for consistency with the package name, all config, log, and dump files named osm* 
to be changed to opensm*

To avoid confusion and possible conflicts in configuring daemon options,
only have 1 configuration file (existence of both /etc/sysconfig/opensm 
and /etc/opensm.conf is problematic).  Remove the /etc/sysconfig/opensm 
file and only use opensm.conf.  Move opensm.conf to /etc/rdma (as 
discussed in the thread labeled "Location and naming of RDMA enablement 
stack rpm" on general at lists.openfabrics.org.
