and you can stop it again like this:
# /etc/init.d/opensmd stop
If you wish to pass any arguments to the OpenSM program, modify the file:
/etc/init.d/opensmd
and add the arguments to the "OPTIONS" variable. Here is an example:
# Use the UPDN algorithm instead of the Min Hop algorithm.
OPTIONS="-u"

SRP
SRP stands for SCSI RDMA Protocol. It was originally intended to allow the SCSI
protocol to run over InfiniBand for SAN usage. SRP interfaces directly to the Linux
file system through the SRP Upper Layer Protocol. SRP storage can be treated as
just another device.
In this release SRP is provided as a technology preview. Add ib_srp to the module
list in /etc/sysconfig/infinipath to have it automatically loaded.
NOTE: SRP does not yet work with IBM Power Systems.This will be fixed in a
future release.

Starting and Stopping the InfiniPath Software
The InfiniPath driver software runs as a system service, normally started at system
startup. Normally you will not need to restart the software, but you may wish to do
so after installing a new InfiniPath release, or after changing driver options, or if
doing manual testing.
The following commands can be used to check or configure state. These methods
will not reboot the system.
To check the configuration state, use the command:
$ chkconfig --list infinipath
To enable the driver, use the command (as root):
# chkconfig infinipath on 2345
