'sc qc opensm' still claims the service has not started.
I'm starting to suspect opensm is merrily SMP'ing away (Subnet
Management Packet processing), but has neglected to inform the Windows
Service manager interface (or whatever it's called) that it's alive and
well. Could opensm.exe be lacking the Service manager API calls? Given
that it's based on Linux code, it's not too far of a stretch...
Sounds like it's time to read some source code.

Thanks for the response.

Stan.
