I have been corrected: IBSRM (Sun's subnet manager) uses two Pkeys, but Solaris *should* work with just one pkey. So, just using 0xffff will allow a Solaris node to initialize. The only thing that might hang up Solaris IPoIB is that it requires that the broadcast group be created external to Solaris -- Solaris won't create one, so somebody else has to -- whether that be the SM (opensm) or another node on the fabric (Linux openib). -tduffy
