In the Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switch Command Reference for Firmware Version 2.1, the PKEY column description is incorrect in the descriptions for the showvlan and showvnics commands. The PKEY column lists the P_Key and the P_Key membership bit combined. The P_Key membership bit is the most significant bit of the two-byte value assigned to the respective P_Key.
To simplify, subtract 0x8000 from the value seen in the PKEY column to determine the actual P_Key value.
For example:
PKEY column value ffff - 0x8000 = P_Key 0x7fff
