We updated the cluster to OFED 3.5 RC1 and the problem between the FDR cards and uDAPL has been resolved. The logo is based on OFED 1.5.4.1 but we were unable to determine the root cause in the uDAPL package despite checking with the uDAPL maintainers (one of whom (Arlin) is on sabbatical). So based on our diagnostic results from OFED 3.5 RC1 we are going to pass the FDR cards with a comment that notes the failure of uDAPL as packaged in OFED 1.5.4.1 and note that the problem can be resolved by either updating to OFED 3.5 or by updating the individual package. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Thanks and please let me know if you have any problems with this solution.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Rupert<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Yaroslav Pekelis [mailto:slava@mellanox.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, July 19, 2012 8:50 AM<br><b>To:</b> Iwg-arbitration-committee@openfabrics.org; Rupert Dance (rsdance@soft-forge.com)<br><b>Cc:</b> Hal Rosenstock; Amit Krig<br><b>Subject:</b> Official arbitration request for Mellanox MCX353A-FCBT and MCX354A-FCBT<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hi, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Mellanox would like to fill official arbitration request for the following devices:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in'>MCX353A-FCBT and MCX354A-FCBT<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The uDapl problem was not observed during the debug event and presented itself only during the Validation event. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>More than that the test suite passes properly when working at QDR speed which leads us to suspicious that test itself does not work properly with Spec1.3 extended speeds such as FDR.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We will continue to work with UNH team in order to get to the root cause of the reported failure. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Kind regards, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Slava<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
