Understanding Hardware Commands
Enables the Subnet Manager within the management controller.
enablesm
This hardware command enables the OpenSM opensmd daemon on the management controller.
Note - Similarly, both the enablesm and opensm commands invoke an instance of the same Subnet Manager. Conversely, the enablesm command merely starts the Subnet Manager while the opensm command can configure the Subnet Manager.
Like the OpenSM Subnet Manager discussed in opensm Command, the enablesm command initiates an instance of the opensmd daemon. The daemon reads the /etc/opensm/opensm.conf configuration file upon startup, which it uses to configure the OpenSM Subnet Manager. The enablesm command is more user-friendly because it is not necessary to provide command-line options and arguments.
The following example shows how to enable the opensmd daemon with the enablesm command.
# enablesm Starting IB Subnet Manager. [ OK ] #
