The most fully redundant model would be to _not_ interconnect the 2
switches so it's 2 IB subnets rather than a single subnet. This means
you need at least 1 SM on each subnet (with different subnet prefix) but
you might want more if you're worried about some SM failing and not
having an SM on that subnet.
