smPriority
None.
The priority of the Subnet Manager (SM) determines which subnet manager will
become the master SM for the fabric. Zero is the lowest priority and fifteen is the
highest. The SM with the highest priority will become the master SM for the fabric.
The elevated priority value determines what the priority of the SM will be if it
becomes Master. This allows persistent failovers that do not automatically fail
back by configuring the elevated priority to be higher than all normal priorities.
This feature is effectively disabled when set to the default of zero.Subnet manager
must be running to display the priority.
Similar information can also be obtained using the FastFabric commands:
iba_saquery -o sminfo or iba_report -o comps.
Examples
