# Upstream doesn't provide a systemd .service file, let alone a way to
# configure one to run simultaneous multiple interfaces.
# Copied from Fedora's opensm-3.3.17-4.fc22.x86_64.rpm
# Problem #1: Multiple IB fabrics needing a subnet manager
#
# In the event that a machine has more than one IB subnet attached,
# and that machine is an opensm server, by default, opensm will
# only attach to one port and will not manage the fabric on the
# other port. There are two ways to solve this problem:
#
# 1) Start opensm on multiple machines and configure it to manage
# different fabrics on each machine
# 2) Configure opensm to start multiple instances on a single
# machine
#
# Both solutions to this problem require non-standard configurations.
# In other words, you would normally have to modify /etc/rdma/opensm.conf
# and once you do that, the file will no longer be updated for new
# options when opensm is upgraded. In an effort to allow people to
# have more than one subnet managed by opensm without having to modify
# the system default opensm.conf file, we have enabled two methods
# for modifying the default opensm config items needed to enable
# multiple fabric management.
#
# Method #1: Create multiple opensm.conf files in non-standard locations
# Copy /etc/rdma/opensm.conf to /etc/rdma/opensm.conf.<number>
# (do this once for each instance you want started)
# Edit each copy of the opensm.conf file to reflect the necessary changes
# for a multiple instance startup. If you need to manage more than
# one fabric, you will have to change the guid option in each file
# to specify the guid of the specific port you want opensm attached
# to.
#
# The advantage to method #1 is that, on the off chance you want to do
# really special custom things on different ports, like have different
# QoS settings depending on which port you are attached to, you have the
# freedom to edit any and all settings for each instance without those
# changes affecting other instances or being lost when opensm upgrades.
#
# Method #2: Specify multiple GUIDS variable entries in this file
# Uncomment the below GUIDS variable and enter each guid you need to attach
# to into the list. If using this method you need to enter each
# guid into the list as we won't attach to any default ports, only
# those specified in the list.
#
#GUIDS="0x0002c90300048ca1 0x0002c90300048ca2"
#
# The obvious advantage to method #2 is that it's simple and doesn't
# clutter up your file system, but it is far more limited in what you
# can do. If you enable method #2, then even if you create the files
# referenced in method #1, they will be ignored.
#
# Problem #2: Activating a backup subnet manager
#
# The default priority of opensm is set so that it wants to be the
# primary subnet manager. This is great when you are only running
# opensm on one server, but if you want to have a non-primary opensm
# instance for failover, then you have to manually edit the opensm.conf
# file like for problem #1. This carries with it all the problems
# listed above. If you wish to enable opensm as a non-primary manager,
# then you can uncomment the PRIORITY variable below and set it to
# some number between 0 and 15, where 15 is the highest priority and
# the primary manager, with 0 being the lowest backup server. This method
# will work with the GUIDS option above, and also with the multiple
# config files in method #1 above. However, only a single priority is
# supported here. If you wanted more than one priority (say this machine
# is the primary on the first fabric, and second on the second fabric,
# while the other opensm server is primary on the second fabric and
# second on the primary), then the only way to do that is to use method #1
# above and individually edit the config files. If you edit the config
# files to set the priority and then also set the priority here, then
# this setting will override the config files and render that particular
# edit useless.
#
#PRIORITY=15
