14:19:45 <mackonst_> #info Vratko - some discussions re budget with LFN finance, no impact on our project, yet

14:21:21 <mackonst_> #info Maciek Kai - review the latest status per old email thread - and report back here on csit call
14:21:44 <mackonst_> #topic HW accelerator
14:23:43 <mackonst_> #info re SPR QAT2.0 - Kai - no traffic seen in csit tests - in intel local environment got it working after resetting PF instances that in turn resets all associated VFs.
14:23:53 <mackonst_> #info re SPR QAT2.0 - Kai -  this may not work for csit automated tests, there is work on intel side to have it addressed.
14:24:47 <mackonst_> #link 39375: fix crypto device init functions | https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/csit/+/39375
14:25:53 <mackonst_> #info #info re SPR QAT2.0 - Kai - working on restarting individual VFs, so that automated tests could actually run continuously without breaking, see comments to the patch from Peter and Kai et al
14:26:46 <mackonst_> #info re SNR QAT2.0 - Kai - should be corrected to "SNR QAT1.7"
14:28:52 <mackonst_> #info re SNR QAT1.7 - Kai - HW instance misreported - after a number of t/shooting sessions, and discussions, involving CSIT (Peter, Kai) and Intel eng (Georgii, et al) conclusion is that this platform needs to be replaced.
14:30:40 <mackonst_> #info re SNR QAT1.7 - Kai - John DiGiglio is aware of this.
14:31:05 <mackonst_> #info re SNR QAT1.7 - Kai - Maciek Kai to coordinate between CSIT and Intel teams regarding the SNR unit swap.
14:33:27 <mackonst_> #info re SPR DSA - Kai - waiting for SuperMicro to find out about public link to BIOS v1.4 that enables required BIOS options to activate and make DSA usable for CSIT VPP tests.
14:35:38 <mackonst_> #info re E810 GTPU offload - Kai - status unclear
14:35:57 <mackonst_> #info re E810 GTPU offload - Peter - status unclearl
14:36:44 <mackonst_> #info re E810 GTPU offload - Maciek Kai - work out the status based on the currently running and broken tests relying on GTPU encap/decap offload on E810 NICs
14:38:05 <mackonst_> #info re E810 GTPU offload - Maciek Vratko - check for open jira ticket filed against those broken tests, tests are currently removed from job specs as they were broken for a while, they can be per patch tested in case we need error logs
14:38:57 <mackonst_> #topic CSIT-2310
14:39:01 <mackonst_> #info rc2 today
14:39:11 <mackonst_> #info Tibor - starting now
14:39:34 <mackonst_> #info Tibor - as per usual 5 runs iterative to pick up on any anomalies before release and report
14:40:23 <mackonst_> #info Maciek - rls in 2 weeks 25-Oct, report publish + 2 weeks after that => 08-Nov
14:41:14 <mackonst_> #info Vratko - large scale ipsec policy failing on 3n-alt
14:41:29 <mackonst_> #info Vratko - rc1 tests - large scale ipsec policy failing on 3n-alt
14:44:38 <mackonst_> #topic Physical Infrastructure
14:45:29 <mackonst_> #info Maciek Peter - icx-d arrived with 48v dc psu instead of 110v ac psu, being swapped by supermicro. so even though is racked and cabled, it can not be powered up.
14:46:32 <mackonst_> #info Maciek Peter - Peter working on activating multiple links in 3na-spr with cx7 NICs to pump traffic and test 1.2 Tbps per socket (6 x 200 GbE)
14:46:43 <mackonst_> #topic Virtual Infrastructure, CI/CD
14:46:57 <mackonst_> #topic Environment, Framework
14:47:10 <mackonst_> #topic Trending and Test Failures

14:48:15 <mackonst_> #topic Analytics, Presentation
14:48:35 <mackonst_> #info Tibor - csit-dash - a new graph added to trending with Gbps
14:48:57 <mackonst_> #info Tibor - csit-dash - this is in addition to Mpps
14:53:29 <mackonst_> #info Maciek Juraj - wondering if it would be possible to get Arm N2 based server into FD.io CSIT labs. N2 introduces variable length vector instructions that VPP benefits greatly from. We would like LFN FD.io community to have a reference platform in LFN FD.io labs to work with, develop for, optimize for and performance benchmark test on.
