[ofw] ***SPAM*** Notes from WinOF BoF at Sonoma

[John Russo]

               We were able to come up with a prioritized wish list for WinOF 2.2 and a target date (based on Microsoft's rollout of Version 3 of the HPC package.  These are not committed items and we do not have agreement on if/who would take on each feature at this time.  It is simply a list to work from for roadmap planning.

               Target date:
                              Microsoft will release HPC V3 in Q1 of 2010. (They will lock down by Nov. 2009)
                              WinOF 2.2 should GA no later than 3 months after the HPC release

               Prioritized Feature List

§  Tie into a number of Fabric Diagnostics/Data report tools that will be made available by Microsoft.

§  HA (IB Bonding)

§  OpenSM parity
----------------------------------------------------------     Below this line are "nice to have" features

§  ND over Verbs (if not included in 2.1)

§  Diskless Boot / PXE Boot.

§  IPoIB Performance Improvements

§  SRP Target

               Other topics

§  Does NDIS6 driver REQUIRE WinServer2008?

o   Would we have to ship two packages (one for 2008 and later, one for 2003 and earlier)?

§  At what point to we trim the support matrix e.g. eliminate Windows XP from the list.

§  Put time in schedule for Logo testing before GA

o   Once we know the code passes testing each company will be able to submit independently

o   This would also allow all of the vendors to "share the pain" of qualification.


§  Feedback on WinOF 2.0

o   Everyone was very happy with the improved installation in WinOF 2.0

o   An "Update" button would be appreciated.

o   Eric will continue to push for Microsoft to allow WinOF to be logo certified for the group.
