Each InfiniBand subnet needs one subnet manager to discover, activate and manage the subnet.
An InfiniBand® network requires a Subnet Manager to be running in either the Infiniband switch
itself (switch based) or on one of the nodes which is connected to the Infiniband fabric (host
based).
The InfiniBand subnet manager (OpenSM) assigns Local IDentifiers (LIDs) to each port con-
nected to the InfiniBand fabric, and develops a routing table based on the assigned LIDs.
A typical InfiniBand installation using the OFED package will run the OpenSM subnet manager at
system start up after the OpenIB drivers are loaded. This automatic OpenSM is resident in mem-
ory, and sweeps the InfiniBand fabric approximately every 5 seconds for new InfiniBand adapters
to add to the subnet routing tables.
