Connected mode IPoIB (NDIS 5.1)
-------------------------------

DM (Datagram Mode) passing some WHQL tests, looking for help in understanding what IPoIB exceptions were allowed during
Mellanox WHQL testing.
Alex Naslednikov will make the WHQL exception info known to Alex Estrin.
Mellanox has tested IPoIB_CM when CM disabled (Datagram mode), regression results were good and stable.

CM (Connected Mode) some WHQL tests passing, need WHQL exception info.
Alex from Mellanox wants to know which WHQL tests are passing / failing.

On track for WinOF 2.1 April 15th functionality freeze date.

Server 2008/HPC WDM support
---------------------------

WDM (Windows Deployment Manager) support is available an tested for WinOF 2.1.
WinOF 2.1 supports the msiexec.exe cmd-line install option 'NODRV=1' which installs WinOF but does not install/process
driver .inf files.
NODRV=1 option is suitable for compute node installation
Start/wait msiexec.exe /I WinOF_2-1_x64.msi NODRV=1
Head-node installs as 'msiexec.exe /I WinOF_2-1_x64.msi OSMS=1'
OpenSM started on the head, installed drivers are available to Cluster Manager (WDM) for compute node template
construction.


IPoIB enhanced error logging (requested by Qlogic)
--------------------------------------------------

IPoIB CM work 'may' incorporate some of this.
Questionable for April 15th freeze date.


Sonoma Workshop 2009

John Russo (Qlogic) has agreed to hold a WinOF future directions discussion in Sonoma.  Contract John for info.
