Ensure PTP Activation Keys are Installed

Except for the X3 series, all adapters must have an AppFlex PTP activation key installed before they can be used for PTP. The key is pre-installed on certain adapters. Use the sfkey utility to list keys, and to install a key if necessary.

1. Display the installed keys for all adapters:

   # sfkey --all --report
   eth2,eth3: 000F53650CA0
     Product name          Solarflare XtremeScale X2522-25G Adapter
     Serial number         252221503010182518500205
     Installed keys        Onload, SolarCapture Pro

2. If the Installed keys do not include a PTP or a Plus key, install a PTP activation key:

   • Copy the activation key data to a .txt file on the target server.
   • All keys can be in the same key file and the file applied on multiple servers.
   • The following example uses a activation key file called keys.txt created on the local server:

     # sfkey --adapter=eth2 --install keys.txt
     Reading keys...
     
     Writing all keys to eth2...
     eth2: 000F53650CA0
       Product name          Solarflare XtremeScale X2522-25G Adapter
       Serial number         252221503010182518500205
       Installed keys        Onload, PTP, SolarCapture Pro
