Index

setsmpriority Command

Sets the Subnet Manager priority.

Syntax

setsmpriority priority

where priority is a number from 0 (lowest) to 13 (highest).

Description

This hardware command sets the priority of the Subnet Manager within the management controller. You use this command when there are multiple Subnet Managers in the InfiniBand fabric. By setting a Subnet Manager to a higher priority than another Subnet Manager, it becomes the master Subnet Manager. By setting a Subnet Manager to a lower priority than another Subnet Manager, it becomes the slave Subnet Manager.

The setsmpriority command writes the value of priority to the sm_priority parameter of the /etc/opensm/opensm.conf file.


Note - You must stop or disable the OpenSM Subnet Manager before issuing the setsmpriority command. See disablesm Command and opensmd Daemon.



Note - Setting Subnet Managers of the same fabric to the same priority can have undesirable results.


Example

The following example shows how to set the priority of the Subnet Manager to 3 using the setsmpriority command.
