These are the meeting minutes for EWG/OFED meeting for July 13 09
Meeting summary
===============
1. OFED 1.5 alpha release is still not ready due to compilation issues
2. OFED 1.4.2: Bug fixes will be submitted soon. RC is expected this week and
GA next week.
Details:
========
1. OFED 1.5 alpha release
* RHEL 5.4 - we will take backports
* SLES 10 SP3 - Tziporet to ask Novell if the kernel available somewhere
* New Qlogic driver will be sent to kernel soon
* PPC64 - compilation fails on mthca - Mellanox to fix it
* Management package compilation still fail - Sasha is working to fix
* Decided to leave sa cache patches since Qlogic are using them
2. OFED 1.4.2:
Brian found more bugs on 1.4.1 - 4 bugs are opened, fixes are under testing
major change in the headers will not be done in 1.4.2 since it put
release stability on a risk (can be done in 1.5)
Discussion: Who will use 1.4.2:
* Lustre customers
* NFS/RDMA users
1.4.2 Quality disclaimer
* We do not going to recommend the distros to take OFED 1.4.2 as
package since it is less tested and have not passed interop and
OFA logo testing
* Note should be written in RN on this.
Note: To prevent such case in the future EWG ask Sun to test Lustre on
OFED 1.5 on the RCs
Comments: I will be on vacation in time frame for next meeting. Betsy
Zeller will replace me
Tziporet
