Why does SM need this string? To print it out in the log file? I want to address a simple need: I need a tool that can figure out the host name/hca from the GUID, without keeping a database in some file. So if I hit the race window while the system is booting, I know that its booting since the description does not have the format that I set from userspace, and can simply re-run the tool. > Without this aspect covered as well, this is only a partial solution. Its good enough for what I want it for, and it seems that no one proposed anything better so far. It should be easy to invent some kind of trap for this, but I dont think anything in the spec matches. -- MST _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
