OpenSM is running on another machine with Lid 9. While this machine
(xblade06)
has Lid 8. Here is the output after reboot:

[root at xblade06 ~]# sminfo
sminfo: sm lid 9 sm guid 0x2c90300013101, activity count 618300 priority 0
state 3 SMINFO_MASTER
[root at xblade06 ~]# ps -ef|grep opensm
root      5369  5234  0 00:08 pts/0    00:00:00 grep opensm
[root at xblade06 ~]# ibv_devices
    device                 node GUID
    ------              ----------------
    mlx4_0              0002c903000134b0
[root at xblade06 ~]# ibnetdiscover |grep 2c903000134b0
# Initiated from node 0002c903000134b0 port 0002c903000134b1

lid 8 4xSDR

Ca      2 "H-0002c903000134b0"          # "xblade06 HCA-1"
