Fwd: Re: [openib-general] static LID computationwithTS_HOST_DRIVER

[David M. Brean]

I think Yaron's point is that the P_Key table can only be updated by a 
management entity, such as the SM, that has the M_Key.  [The default 
values in the P_Key table are established as as result of port 
initialization - an external entity is not involved.
