Well I setup CentOS on a small Atom server I had and connected it to my IB network (currently connected using a TopSpin 120 switch). I installed OpenSM and it is running.
I won't get the 9024D switch until tomorrow but wanted to know if I have to do anything else other than just have OpenSM running (i.e. like changing any settings in the /etc/rdma/opensm.conf file).
