14:12:41 <mackonstan> #topic New or refactored tests - Scale tests API optimization
14:14:17 <mackonstan> #info Vratko - got job execution time data for 2n-clx, it's >12hrs, working out which high-scale test to remove to fit the time budget
14:15:03 <mackonstan> #topic move to Ubuntu 22.04
14:15:36 <mackonstan> #info Peter, vpp_device so far staying on Ubuntu 20.04
14:17:28 <mackonstan> #info Peter, 3n-snr - trying to get it working with TRex + CVL, packet loss got solved with TRex upgrade v3.00
14:18:50 <mackonstan> #info Peter, 3n-snr - unfortunately 25GbE interface are randomly going down, reached out to Vexxhost on-site support to re-seat cables. Didn't help.
14:20:24 <mackonstan> #info Peter, to make progress need more direct Intel assistance. work with Maciek on this
14:21:00 <mackonstan> #topic Next Release CSIT-2210
14:25:12 <mackonstan> #info Peter, re TRex version upgrade to address CVL (partial) compatibility and 3n-snr, not enough data to make a call if TRex v3.00 is good enough
14:25:45 <mackonstan> #info Vratko, question is if we have enough time to move to TRex v3.00, and if things go bad and south, revert
14:25:50 <mackonstan> #info Maciek, agree with that
14:26:35 <mackonstan> #info Tibor, we should have enough time to do it, including the worst case scenario of reverting TRex sw version
14:35:27 <mackonstan> #info Peter, upgrading TRex - following steps: i) automated upgrade of TRex - quick; ii) manual firmware upgrades (not automated for various reasons) - takes time; iii) can do 2n-clx, run rc2/trending tests, then evaluate quickly; iv) proceed with other testbed types in parallel to step (iii)
14:36:07 <mackonstan> #info Maciek, agreed above between Tibor, Peter, Vratko and Maciek
14:37:33 <mackonstan> #info Juraj, Arm testbeds still down, patch is still in review queue, no feedback
