I don't think there's a need (see below). > In 10.9.1.2 of the spec, it states, "The P_Key value of 0xFFFF shall > represent the default partition key." Default in this sense is referring to the default partition (and it is not changeable in the same sense other defaults are). All end ports _must_ be a member of the default partition either as a full or limited member. This is needed for SA communication. See p.882 Table 185 P_KeyTable (initialization) for one citation on this. There are others in the spec. > (I couldn't find the glossary in the spec about what "shall" means, but > I assume it means "must" or "required" like RFCs.) Yes. > Does this mean that a P_Key of 0xFFFF must be in the P_Key_Table? Either 0xffff or 0x7fff must be in the P_KeyTable of every end port. > Currently, it seems that in opensm, no matter how you write your > partition.conf file, 0xFFFF will always be the P_Key_Table.

That's being a full member of the default partition. You should be able to change this to be a limited member of the default partition too. -- Hal > This seems wrong to me, but I'm getting confused on the wording. > Thanks, > Al > > -- > Albert Chu > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Computer Scientist > High Performance Systems Division > Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory > > _______________________________________________ > general mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general > > To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general > _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
