Ghada,

In today’s meeting, Ken mentioned that he’d like to see all pending patches merged to f/CentOS7.6 for Numan to start. But if Numan wants to start earlier, that’s fine. @Shuicheng should be able to send out the build instructions.

Thx. - cindy

Subject: CentOS 7.6 rebase feature testing

Hi Cindy,

My understanding from the F2F meeting last week that you already discussed with Ada testing the CentOS 7.6 rebase image (feature branch) starting Feb 1 while your team is off for Chinese New Year’s.

Can you please send the instructions for building the feature branch to the stx mailing list? Numan will try to have an image built to try it out in one of the WR labs (time-permitting).

I expect the feature branch is rebased to the latest from master.

Hi Ada,

Given that there are driver upgrades for i40e & ixgbe, I assume you are planning to test on baremetal hardware, not just in the virtual env. Are your baremetal labs setup now? What NIC types do you have covered in your labs?

Thanks,

Ghada
