WinOF device driver signing certificate VeriSign quote on Microsoft Authenticode Digital ID $499. OFA web page updates: downloads working groups Developer resources Who are the identified modules maintainers? SRP, IBAL, mthca, NDI Leonid Keller: leonid at mellanox.co.il WSD, IPoIB Tzachi Dar: tzachid at mellanox.co.il openSM Yevgeny Kliteynik: Kliteyn at mellanox.co.il DAPL/DAT Stan Smith: stan.smith at intel.com VNIC orphaned; Xsigo slated to supply new VNIC implementation for WinOF 1.1. Start using a bug tracker tool (Bugzilla)? who will setup/maintain? Tzachi will investigate & report. Discuss LongHorn Installer problems, see if someone can help. 1) cluster install - every node wants redundant driver authorization. Same domain or certificate server may prevent driver authorization notifier @ each node popping up; Stan will investigate. 2) Windows 2008 driver dependencies Bus driver has dependency on success of HCA driver installer; coinstaller can fail. Current attempts @ .inf installation - run executable to install fabric/bus driver. Driver authorization windows pops up elsewhere (remotely)? Inf driver install is the preferred approach. Stan will investigate with Intel Windows driver experts. PXE IB boot - Stan will investigate & report. WinOF 1.1 feature list IB Software Development Kit ConnectX drivers - possible delay. Windows Server 2008 support in WinOF 1.1 appears questionable at this juncture. Windows Server 2008 Build environment Likely not going to happen for some number of months due to differences in WS 2003 DDK vs. WS 2008 DDK; 64-bit ptr handling amidst other build issues. Win2k3 & Win2k8 drivers will be signed by OFA (VeriSign Digital ID). new VNIC from Xsigo? Next OFA/WWG meeting Feb 12th @ 9:00AM PST - will send out bridge info. Based on telemetry from Feb 12th WWG meeting, potential March WWG meetings for WinOF 1.1 release on 3/4, 3/11, 3/18.

QLogic will step up to take ownership of WinOF VNIC. Alex Estrin will be the person responsible. And, he will be pushing out changes to SVN in the next few weeks. This decision was made recently, since the last WWG meeting. I apologize for the last minute notice. Thanks!

If and when Xsigo deposits their VNIC implementation we will have a VNIC driver namespace overlap (vnic.sys). Please consider a more vendor aligned driver name such as vnic-QL.sys, as Xsigo will be considering vnic-XS.sys. Stan. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
