Currently, OpenSM does not support an interactive console. There has

the first most basic commands: help and loglevel. I am investgating
adding smpriority to this. The console is invoked by specifying -console
as an option on the opensm command line.
If you have a request for a command you would like in the console, I
would like to compile a list of these.
Comments ?
OpenSM gen1 has a nice TCL API (named osmsh) that lets you do all that and much
more.
Setting ALL options is supported.
It also provides a Tcl access to the SM Database so you can write your own
reports on FDB/MC-FDB etc.
Interactive control on the discovery and fabric settings sequence allows "single
stepping" too.
The OpenSM user manual provides extensive description of it, including some
programming examples.
Porting of osmsh to gen2 should be very simple.
I do not see why we need to invent yet another way to do these things.
Instead I would recommend including osm Tcl extension in the gen2 trunk and put
it to work.
