Hi -
 What is the algorithm that opensm uses to determine who is master among
multiple opensm's?

My scenario is that I have 2 nodes, each is running opensmd.
In some test hardware, node A is always the master no matter which one
starts opensmd first.
In other test hardware, node B is always the master, again regardless of
opensmd start order.

I'm running OFED 1.3 with mthca driver on MT25208 based HCA.

Thanks,
Dave
