InfiniPath and OpenFabrics Driver Overview
The InfiniPath ib_ipath module provides low-level QLogic hardware support,
and is the base driver for both MPI/PSM programs and general OpenFabrics
protocols such as IPoIB and SDP. The driver also supplies the Subnet
Management Agent (SMA) component.

OpenSM. This component is disabled at startup. You can install it on only
one node, or disable it on all nodes except where it will be used as an SM.
