UNH-IOL - reserved the IOl GTP for the week of June 20,2016. 6/20 - 6/24 dial in leader code (5642); 303/218-2664 6855410 # NDA - registered with FCIA - thank you!

Presentation to UNH-IOL students - Gen 6 overview during lunch. 1)Barry; Mark; Earl; anyone else? Link for the online registration form for Plugfest - http://fibrechannel.org/plugfest-registration-payment Please take a minute to fill it out by May 2nd. FCIA: Susan Crolla: scrolla@fibrechannel.org Send the cpntact name for the invoice for participation, along with their mailing address, email address, and phone number. IOL is in a new location in downtown Durham. G2P space dedicated for events. Wireless is available. 208v/110V power. Tables have drop down copper recepticles. Tim to provide room dimensions to be used to plane LC-LC cable lengths. Alex needs a drawing (from Tim/Barry) illustrating floorplan for a star configuration for cable management, with Viavi in a central location. Alex has a Windows script to adjust port settings of initiator transceivers. Earl indicates that Brocade will not provide a transceiver lockout workaround. Looking for sponsors for Wed. evening at Portsmouth Brewery. HPE signed up. Testing Scope - increase focus on GEN 6 and interop of Gen 5 32/16/8G FC; include 128G FC and breakout. GEN6 coverage: FEC at 32G and 16G speed/throughput/latency data integrity security interoperability RDP and D-port BBcredit automated recovery- without LR Direct connect 32G FC I-T direct connect test - SANBLAZE target support will be available. 32GFC distance - in addition to 100m and 300m tests, include AOCs, and SMF 10km (availability of LW transceivers). (if LW transceivers are available - would like to do this test) Howard and Mark proposed there be no FCoE test tracks. Barry and Susan to contact Cisco and confirm participation. � FCoE Interop focus on NPV aggregation links - 25G availability? TEst track will be developed. - FCoE interop - NPV bridge VN - VF test is of interest for Brocade, Cisco, HPE Jason to check on passthrough option for 32G Analyzer - or is retimer mode required? Mark requested the FCIA GEN 6 standard complete announcement be utilized as goals reference. Barry included this in the test track power point document. Mark recommended a NVMe over FC fabric demonstration track. Barry to add a POC track - continue to discuss this demonstration. Include a link speed check as an observable result is all test tracks. Include a relative performance test in Track 1. � Backward compatibility � OpenStack Cinder Block Storage? Not much interest � Additional testing include (but not limited to): � Port channels � Link Aggregation (LACP) � Static or passive � Active � ON � T10-PI and DIX � Non-symmetrical 10G and 40G members in port-channel groups � Additional Zoning interactions/enhancements (e.g., Target-Driven Zoning) � VN2VN links � Validate that Multiple FCoE VLANS per channel or Aggregation group can be configured along with Ethernet traffic � ETS and PFC operations validation � Failover policies � Keystone and FC-SP-2 intersection What will likely be tested - from previous discussions ? o Gen 6 / 32Gb focused spanning FCoE (25Gb, 50Gb, 100Gb) ? Cable, media, negotiation in-between; � backwards compatibility with 16Gb - 8Gb � 32Gb multipath performance to 16Gb storage devices � 126Gb ? Analysis and traffic generation ? Physical media testing ? Security? -logins happen correctly -storage information is correct -Move data with IOMeter - or other load generator (MEDUSA - MLTT) -Name server entries are correct -start up Initiator first, then target, then switch (test each starting up first) -setting different(3) hard coded speeds on each of the 3 above, and auto-negotiating Tim - receiver tests Greg suggests some basic conformance test before general interop tests transmitter tests - Provided a draft document describing the physical tests. Please review. There will be AOC 32G. Plan on 32G AOC tests. Request that transceiver lockout be disabled (if possible). Test a matrix of multi-vendor transceivers. Transmit : Transceiver Optical : eyemask. Calibration of test signal could take ~6hrs worst case) Then it would be ~10-15minutes per DUT Amplitude - eye diagram. ~10minutes per transceiver. It uses the same signal, but different pattern(PRBs) Jitter - eye diagram. ~10Min per transceiver. Same signal, different pattern Electrical: same tests, same time Equipment needed : Wave form Analyzer, Clock recovery unit, pattern generator, optical demux, Electrical would require pattern generator Receiver: Tranceiver Electrical : Module electrical output (Optical in-Electrical out ) same ~6hr calibration, 15minutes per DUT equipment : pattern generator with jitter capabilities and equalization settings Host/NIC Transmitter eye diagram and jitter need access to pattern generation on host/NIC for transmitter testing. 15minutes per DUT BER needs access to loopback on NIC/host and would require ~6hr calibration, 15minutes per DUT Equipment needed : pattern generator would we want to use onboard BER tests??? SAnBlaze no 25G Target in June.
