Attendees: Bruce Vessey, Unisys Natalie Protasevich, Unisys Renier Morales, IBM Lynn de la Torre, OSDL Martine Silbermann, HP * Memory hotplug: - regression testing, hw update? System is still not booting but problem has been escaladed to OSDL IT manager and is being actively worked on. - topics for BOF at LWE The BOF is a general hotplug BOF so any issues regarding hotplug (not just memory) should be considered. Here's the abstract that summarizes what will be discussed: "Linux has arrived in the enterprise market. At the forefront of its enterprise features are cpu hotplug, pci hotplug, memory hotplug, dynamic partitioning, and capacity upgrade on demand. Discussion topics will include the current state of these features on a variety of vendor platforms, the benefits of these features in customer environments, and a technical discussion related to continued development in these areas. IT managers, system administrators, and kernel developers should benefit from the discussion." * CPU hotplug regression testing: Natalie has been working on CPU hotplug changes needed to support ia32 and more specifically Unisys's ES7000 which supports up to 32 processors w/ a granularity of 8. It seems that her changes are mostly in the onlining portion of the code. It is currently in her own tree but she's planning on publishing it soon. * Hotplug at OpenHPI level: OpenHPI 2.0.1 will be released this week, it is mostly a bug fix release for 2.0. The OpenHPI group is planning on writing a document that specifies the state-of-the-art of OpenHPI i.e. list of supported hardware, supported features and so on. They'll also publish a feature roadmap on their website. Renier also mentionned that the OpenHPI subagent which can be run remotely also needs to be updated. * Other issues: - Product manager for hotplug? Martine thinks that she might have found a product manager from HP that could help the hotplug SIG. - Hotplug BOF at OLS. Dave Hansen submitted a abstract for a memory BOF at OLS, not quite sure if Anil submitted one for node hotplug. Thanks for your participation. Martine J. Silbermann
