If we are deploying user space accelerated openvswitch, that would need to be NSH aware as well. (tfherbert, 13:13:17) * Both userspace and kernel space patches for NSH will be released together and will be based on the original Cisco code (mdgray, 13:17:49) * ACTION: Mark to update ppt to reflect these dependencies (mdgray, 13:18:22) * We will also need more detail in the plan which we can do at a later stage when we have more information. (mdgray, 13:20:05) * Gabor asks if we have any hardware for this project (mdgray, 13:20:52) * Mike Lynch: There will be access to the Intel OPNFV lab or the LF lab. (mdgray, 13:22:05) * Follow the HW requirements of Pharos (mdgray, 13:23:15) * We may need to book time on lab infrastrucure in order to run tests. (mdgray, 13:24:48) * ACTION: Mike Lynch to check the procedure for reserving lab infrastructure. (mdgray, 13:26:09) * Gabor: What are the supported NICs in the userspace datapath with DPDK? (mdgray, 13:27:47) * There is a baseline specification for Pharos servers. Inclusing NICs. Those are all DPDK-supported. (mdgray, 13:28:23) * Gabor: Memory and hugepages are not an issue either. (mdgray, 13:29:10) * Instructions to add package to an installer (mdgray, 13:29:28) * LINK: http://lists.opnfv.org/pipermail/opnfv-tech-discuss/2015-August/004178.html (mdgray, 13:29:56) * : there is a link to the current Pharos HW Specification (mlynch, 13:32:04) * LINK: https://wiki.opnfv.org/pharos/pharos_specification (mlynch, 13:32:11) * There are few options for installers (mdgray, 13:33:16) * Mark suggests Fuel is a good option as the documentation, support from the mailing list, it also supports checkboxes for different builds, it also supports a virtual deployment (mdgray, 13:34:44) * Gabor +1 (mdgray, 13:34:57) * Robin: Is RDO another option? (mdgray, 13:35:28) * therbert: Franck Brockner gave the exact methodology for doing what we need to do. (mdgray, 13:36:31) * It might be Michal. The following link outlines this.

(mdgray, 13:38:35) * AGREED: We will target Fuel as the first installer. (mdgray, 13:39:20) * We need to take the list of tasks highlighted in the above e-mail thread into Jira to indicate what we need to do to complete an integration of userspace ovs into OPNFV (mdgray, 13:41:00) * ACTION: Tom will build a description of the work we need to do using the info in this e-mail and populate into Jira. The first purpose of this is really to help direct work so that people can contribute. (mdgray, 13:43:31) * mailing list with [ovsnfv] tag, individual email or this chat channel for comms (tfherbert, 13:44:43) * Gabor wants to know how to contact this group in general during the week?
