for SRP in IBCG1.0. I also list below, the work that Cisco is planning to do

mentioned for this release.)</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
Folks,<br>
<br>
I think we have all converged on option b.<br>
<br>
The next step is to determine the specific tasks, owners and timelines for
delivery. I will send out a list for review and setup a meeting on monday to
close out these items.<br>
<br>
To address a couple of items that have been brought up in this thread:<br>
<br>
Aviram - dynamic detection is not in option b. This feature is highly desired,
but the consensus on the last call was that this feature would put us out of
the april code freeze timeframe.<br>
<br>
Sujal - same goes for working with the sst and cisco gws.<br>
<br>

I'm OK with option B. I have a fulltime person starting next week or the
week after with an initial focus on IBCG SRP. But I'm not sure how much
he'll be able to contribute in this timeframe as it's a new person and will
have a learning curve.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We have to find a way to release SRP comprising of at least option B on the
April 30th release date. Let us know how we can help. With 3
companies applying resources on this critical ULP, I hope we can make it happen.<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
Folks,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Minutes from our IBCG-SRP discussion below. The next steps are for each company
to specify which of the three implementation options below would be preferred.
Please reply back with your preference. Once we have consensus, we will meet
next week to identify the specific development tasks and the owners of each
task.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Implementation Options:<br>
<br>
A. SRP driver is technology preview (No new features, some negative testing,
date-driven)<br>
<br>
B. SRP driver is "add-on" for HPC only (negative testing on single
path, static configuration, minimal tunable parameters - framework, no
multipathing, no dynamic detection of targets, no support for Cisco and SST
FCGWs)<br>
<br>
C. SRP driver is "add-on" for HPC and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Enterprise</st1:place></st1:City> (extensive negative testing,
multipathing support, dynamic target detection, support for SST and Cisco FCGWs)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Mellanox / Vu:<br>
<br>
- FMR in: Patch already submitted (Provide evidence that FMR is useful; Vu will
talk to Roland)<br>
<br>
- Tunable parameters: Framework needed as well ad decide which parameters in
the first release<br>
<br>
- SRP bootup in InitRD: How to do this? Moderate work (2 weeks); Why would you
want to do this without BoIB-SRP support?<br>
<br>
- SRP detect added/removed targets in the fabric: Moderate work (Is this in the
low level driver?) (3-4 weeks for the SRP work.)<br>
<br>
- Testing with commercial multipathing drivers<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
SilverStorm / Todd:<br>
<br>
- IBCG is not interoperable with SST FCGW (from user management<br>
perspective)<br>
<br>
- Configuration file is required on the host file for interop with SST FCGW<br>
<br>
- Vu's list should be good for IB attached storage<br>
<br>
- Is it OK to rely on 3rd party packages for failover?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Cisco / Kamen:<br>
<br>
- IBCG SRP driver interoperability status with Cisco FCGW is TBD (Roland has
done some basic tests)<br>
<br>
- Basic level of tunable parameters<br>
<br>
- Improve user level management<br>
<br>
- Negative testing needed<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
