[ofa-general] ***SPAM*** what are inmpications of opensmd going down

[kovlensky at interia.pl]

Hi all,

I\'m trying to find any informations on opensmd disappearing from the network. Let\'s assume we\'ve got fully running and operational network, with lids assigned. My undestanding is that opensmd does nothing then and hca\'s with lids assigned can happily survive without it? In other words - having opensmd going down will stop new nodes from joining the network (ports will stay in init state), but will not disrupt the ones which were up?

Also opensmd, when configured to not reassign lids, will not break it when going back up, as it will preserve current setup. Right?

Conclusion - taking opensmd down and up should not influence ib network in any way with exception of new hca\'s appearing.

All above comes from my logic and, as I cannot find any data to confirm that, could anybody confirm that or point at any error there? I\'m considering migrating to opensm and this information is vital to me.

Thanks in advance,

Retek Kovlensky
