Opensm 3.3.3 depends on winverbs/winmad and the libibmad stuff. Thus, there's a dependency on the drivers - I can't just take the executable and run it on a driver install that doesn't include winverbs/winmad. > Options: > > If you really want the full-meal deal, I can build you a WinOF > installer which you could then do an administrative install which > writes files to your specified folder, no device installation.

From a head node cmd-window say 'opensm.exe -e --console > local'. We run OpenSM on a dedicated node. I plan on turning OpenSM off on that node, and imaging a compute node with the latest drivers + opensm. A package that contains this would be great. -Fab _______________________________________________ ofw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ofw
