No driver package required, opensm is a user-mode executable only, sans required ibal & complib.dlls.
Opensm.exe can run anywhere on the fabric, head-node is a good place; point being no need to deploy to compute nodes.

Options:

If you really want the full-meal deal, I can build you a WinOF installer which you could then do an administrative install which writes files to your specified folder, no device installation. All signed drivers & .cat files are available in specified folder which contains Pfiles\winOF\*.

Build opensm.exe executable from gen1\branches\opensm_3 dropped into an svn build tree @ trunk\ulp\opensm_3

I can send you the appro. opensm.exe.

I would recommend shutting down the system's current openSM, switch or otherwise. From a head node cmd-window say 'opensm.exe -e --console local'.
