  5. Release CSIT-2001 (mackonstan, 15:25:30)
    1. Jan - testing - finished performance selected for repeatibility on 2n-dnv (10/10), 3n-dnv (10/10), tsh (8/10), 2n-clx (5/10, 3 running ETA Fri). (mackonstan, 15:28:35)
    2. Jan - testing - complete set of performance tests: 2n-clx number of AVF xxv710 tests are failing (link down on TRex) and RDMA cx553a 9000B tests failing (due to TRex crash). (mackonstan, 15:31:23)
    3. Jan - testing - 2n-clx AVF xxv710 tests failures (link down on TRex) are observed for ip4 tests only (mackonstan, 15:34:02)
    4. Report content & generation - Tibor - update re latest working version on master, added test data, bug fixes. (mackonstan, 15:38:55)
    5. Report - Tibor - hoststack tests static content and rendering code in gerrit under review, reconfig and soak tests need 2n-skx testbeds (will be available after ucode issue is resolved). (mackonstan, 15:40:38)
    6. Skx tests - Maciek - based on the discussion on this call, we are shooting to release 2n-skx and 3n-skx test results by 11-Mar, 2 weeks from now, following investigation with Intel. (mackonstan, 15:45:02)

  6. Release CSIT-1908 (mackonstan, 15:45:20)
    1. CSIT needs to test VPP stable/1908 - dependency on resolving the environment dependencies as noted earlier on this call by Peter. (mackonstan, 15:46:34)
    2. CSIT-1908 maintenance should have a list of tests specified ahead of time, should be aligned with 19.08.1. (mackonstan, 15:48:13)
    3. ACTION: Jan, Maciek to review the 19.08.1 test list, and produce a list for 19.08.2 (mackonstan, 15:48:39)

  7. Operations (mackonstan, 15:49:03)
    1. Peter - we would need to upgrade all skx machines to specific BIOS version once ucode issue resolution and recommendation comes from Intel. This takes a day to notify Vexxhost on-site team, and a day to upgrade all machines (14 skx hosts). (mackonstan, 15:50:47)
    2. Govind - kernel -72 includes spectre-meltdown fixes but no performance micro-code updates. Recommendation is to move. Peter and Juraj will coordinate the kernel upgrade. (mackonstan, 15:55:08)

    1. Peter - number of issues with AVF initialisation, investigating. (mackonstan, 15:58:04)
