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 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.

SRP does not yet work with IBM Power Systems.This will be fixed in a 
future release.

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
