In opensm.opts,
#
# HANDOVER - MULTIPLE SMs OPTIONS
#
# SM priority used for deciding who is the master
sm_priority 15

15 is the highest priority

Again, it's not advisable to mix SM flavors on the same subnet.

This provides some redundancy in the case that either the master SM or
something in the node dies such that the SM is not working.

I wouldn't reassign LIDs unless you have a specific reason to. Changing
LIDs is disruptive.
