Will 2 limited members now be able to talk with each other ? If this change makes the MC requests to the full partition for limited members, that seems correct (as limited MC groups are useless). If it causes/also causes the UD AVs used to send to have their limited PKey to be promoted to full member, then that is not fine. Does it do the latter as well as the former ? -- Hal _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
