[ofw] OpenSM 3.3.3 available for interested parties.

[Reuven Amitai]

Hi Stan,

One of the features old OpenSM presented was the ability to run it as a
service.
Do you plan to add this to the new version of OpenSM ?

Thanks, Reuven.

Hello,
  In branches\opensm_3\ you will find OpenSM 3.3.3 suitable to be
dropped into a build tree as trunk\ulp\opensm_3 and built for all
architectures/OS-flavors.
One needs to be careful as the .exe files [opensm.exe, osmtest.exe &
ibtrapgen.exe] are currently the same names as produced by building in
trunk\ulp\opensm.

Given previous discussions on how to move forward with a new version of
opensm and yet retain the past version in case of emergency.
Where emergency is defined as at some installation the new version of
opensm does not render the fabric usable where the old version did;
unlikely but possible. Without an escape hatch a customer is without
recourse.

I'd like to propose the following svn src file structure changes until
the WinOF 2.3 time frame.

 trunk\ulp\opensm\user --> trunk\ulp\opensm\userO
branches\opensm_3\user --> trunk\ulp\opensm\user

Now we have
    trunk\ulp\opensm\userO              current opensm version @ 3.0.0
base.
    trunk\ulp\opensm\user               New opensm version # 3.3.3

Additionally the SOURCES files in the trunk\ulp\opensm\userO\* would be
modified to append the letter 'O' to the .exe filename to distinguish
them from new version; examples:
  opensmO.exe
  osmtestO.exe
  ibtrapgenO.exe

This could be abbreviated to just building opensmo.exe.

With the new 3.3.3 version of openSM the diffs between the latest OFED
(3.3.3) and the Windows version are not so overwhelming and can be
managed in place; point being the trunk\ulp\opensm\userO is a life-saver
until full confidence is gained in the new opensm implementation.

Your thoughts?

Thank you,

Stan.
