<p dir=ltr> Instead, the result was a Pass, logged as a "Pass with comments", which the report result key shows is still a "Pass", yet Emulex was apparently concerned with anything that is not a pure "Pass". <br>
Arbitrating a passing result is unusual (a first I believe)<br>
It is our custom to highlight any deviation from the OFA test plan as a "Pass with comments" or "Refer to comments" as appropriate. I'm sure you would agree that deviations from the test plan should not be undocumented. <br>
The fact that Emulex was concerned about the perception of a "Pass with comments" vs a "Pass" is actually a positive sign of their desire to market/promote the result - though traditionally if there were such vendor concerns re: wording/etc, they would be caught during informal vendor report reviewing before official report issuance (where we typically ask for things like product identification, etc to be reviewed prior to formal report issuance - which would also be a waste of everyone's time if taken through arbitration)<br>
For the next reports we'll try to be clearer with Emulex, IBM, etc that their early review and comment is welcome so non-technical issues like this can be resolved prior to formal report issuance thus requiring arbitration.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi all,<br />
Just closing the loop from my perspective. I'm fine with the request. The purpose of the "Pass with Comments" was to draw necessary attention to the deviation from the TEST PLAN, not to highlight an issue with the PRODUCT (there is none). The reason
why we typically flag a result such as this as "Pass with Comments" is to make sure the result gets a little more attention than a mere glance - and also to ensure that the deviation from the test plan is noticed (and, if necessary, challenged if anyone believes
the deviation was NOT warranted). <br />
Jeff certainly makes the case that the change is warranted and clearly wishes to have a 'cleaner' report, which I have no objection to.<br />
<br />
Unless there's objection, we shall reissue the report as a "Pass" (leaving the comment as is)
<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend all,<br />
