You are correct - we forgot about it.
Will be fixed in rc2
Can you open a bug in bugzilla for the installer package so we will not
miss it this time?

Thanks,
Tziporet

I don't see this change in OFED 1.1 RC1.
Please add librdmacm and dapl into the HPC install and make sure 
rdma_ucma and rdma_cma gets loaded during boot by default in RC2.

This is a small change in the OFED scripts.
I suggest that if we go for this change we will do it for the HPC 
install and not for the basic install (which includes only the verbs and 
IPoIB).

If there is no objection from anyone we will go for this change.

Mellanox does not have DDN SRP target. We will be happy to test it of
DDN will loan us a system.

Another option is that DDN will take OFED 1.1 RCs and test it in their
labs.
Can you approach them and ask this. If yes then I can cc them on the RCs
mails so they can do it.

Is there any other vendor who has DDN SRP target, and going to test OFED
with it?

  Are there any plans to test with the DDN SRP target?  Several DoE
sites are testing/using the DDN IB based storage.

  summary
  
  
  Hi 
  all,
  This is the outcome 
  of the meeting we had today regarding OFED 1.1 schedule and 
  features.
   
  Tziporet
   
   
  1. Schedule:
  
  Target release date: 31-Aug 
  
  Intermediate 
milestones:
  1.

  2.    
  Feature freeze : 3-Aug 
  3.    
  Code freeze (rc-x): 25-Aug 
  4.    
  Final release: 31-Aug
   
  In general all agreed 
  but it seems aggressive schedule. We will delay in 1 week if needed or drop 
  some features.
  There was a request 
  for another OFED release toward SC06 that will include most updated Open MPI 
  version and we agreed this is possible.
   
  git tree of kernel 
  code will be available on Sandia servers once their system administrator will 
  setup the server with git installed (should be this week)
   
  2. Features:
  
  Note: features that are under low 
  priority may not be qualified in final release due to schedule 
  limitations.
   
  1. OS:
  Novell:
  - SLES 9.0 SP3*
  – SLES10 (official 
  release)*
  Redhat:

  * Changes from last 
  release
   
  Note: Redhat EL4 up2, Fedora C4 and SuSE 
  Pro 10 were dropped from the list.
  We will keep the backport patches for 
  these OSes and make sure OFED compile and loaded properly but will not do full 
  QA cycle.
   
  2. General changes:
  –    
  lib32 on 64 bits systems
  –    
  Kernel code based on 2.6.18
  –    
  HCA fatal - full flow support - Low priority
  –

  Bug fixes
   
  3. OSM (new code based on the 
  trunk):
  –    
  Partition Manager (Pkey) - Low priority 
  –    
  Pre-computed routing load from file

  preview 
  Mainly developed and verified by 
  Voltaire.
   
  4. SDP:
  –    
  Beta quality (higher stability)
  –    
  Improved latency
  –    
  Improved bandwidth of small messages (Naggle algorithm) – 
  done
  –    
  Support the backlog parameter in the listen call
  –

  5. SRP:
  –    
  GA quality
  –    
  DM (Device Mapper) - for high availability
  –    
  Basic failover/failback testing with 
  daemon+srp+XVM/MPP and Engenio target
  A technical mail was published on the 
  general list. (Subject: Needed changes to support fail-over drivers). Need 
  help from Roland to close the technical details since he is SRP 
  maintainer.
   
  6. IPoIB:
  –    
  High availability support using a daemon in user level
   
  7. uDAPL:
  –    
  Scalability features needed for Intel MPI 
  –    
  Going to take the new code from the trunk
   
  8. OSU – MVAPICH:
  –    
  Based on 0.97 (+ bug fixes)
  –    
  Message coalescing
   
  9. Open MPI:
  –    
  Open MPI 1.1.1 - Depending on the dates/schedule of OFED 1.1 and 
  Open MPI 1.1.1 (If not then Open MPI 1.1 will be used)
  –    
  The major differences between Open MPI 1.1 and 1.1.1 can be seen 
  here: http://svn.open-mpi.org/svn/ompi/trunk/NEWS
   
  10. MPI tests:
  –    
  Replace to the new test versions from LLNL, Intel, OSU
   
  11. iSER:

  Stability - code review and bug fixes at iser and libiscsi code 
  related to error handling (libiscsi is a service module used by both iscsi_tcp 
  & iser)
  –    
  Testing more platforms (e.g. ppc64 and ia64)
  –    
  Performance improvements
  –    
  The libiscsi fixes are (2.6.18-rc2/3) and will (2.6.19) be 
  pushed upstream and from there be propagated to distros (eg SLES10  RH5) 
  through their merge process.
   
  12. RDS:
  –    
  Oracle and SilverStorm should update 
  Need to decide if RDS should be removed 
  from OFED since Oracle does not support it for now.

Hello all,

 

We would like to call an OFED v1.1 planning meeting
ASAP.  We can use

the regular time and call-in number that Shawn/Jeff
from Cisco had set

up earlier.  Shawn/Jeff: will you please confirm
and send a reminder?

 

Some critical feature requirements for OFED 1.1 are
based on customer

feedback on OFED 1.0, specifically some missing
features that continue

the perception of OFED 1.0 as being inferior to
proprietary stacks:

 

- Support for SLES 9 in general

- SRP failover and MPP

- SDP usability

- RDS usability

- UDAPL scalability

- High Availability

- Additional OS/CPU platforms support for iSER, sync
with upstream

k
