Aperi Wiki Home Aperi Meetings Aperi Development Meetings

Attendees:

Brocade (John Crandall), IBM (Chris King, Dave Wolfe, Hans Lin, Ramani Routray, Russ Warren, Steven Bennett, Todd Singleton, Tom Guinane,), LSI (Jenny Monesson)

Minutes:

• Project Leader Notes:
  • Third Party Contribution Questionnaires
    • Tracking file
    • At the moment, the only active item is CCLog. Tom working with developer.
    • When a third party piece of code is approved by the Eclipse legal team, it is approved for use by the entire project. Any component can use it.
      • So, given Xerces 2.8.0 has been approved for Aperi use, the SAN Simulator can use the org.xml.sax jar.
      • Todd has included this jar in the builds. Chris can remove references to it in the install instructions.
      • Todd will modify the build scripts so files are not deleted, only the Sun WBEM files.
  • Road map planning
    • Approved Road map
    • There was an Aperi marketing meeting last Thursday. Most of the discussion focused on where we go from here. There will be a kickoff in the first couple of weeks in January to discuss the work we want to do in 2008. Russ will post the minutes later this week to the Community Meetings page and/or Aperi blog.

    • 172223 maj P2 Wind dwolfe@us.ibm.com NEW DB2 BigDecimal conversion exception when running probe of storage subsystem
      • Dave: SRM will eventually crash with DB2 8. Tested with DB2 9 all weekend and never had a problem.
      • DB2 8 does not support Java 1.5
      • Hans having JDK/JRE issues with the SAN Simulator
      • Dave to run parallel Regression with SRM on DB2 9.5.
      • Hans to complete SAN Simulator testing

      • Error running snapshot simulation with default MOF file.
    • 211661 maj P2 Wind routrayr@us.ibm.com NEW CIMOM discovery of Configuration based simulation for Brocade Switches yielded no switches discovered
      • Cannot verify this function with Aperi because it does not have the SMI-S fabric discovery code. SBLIM Ecute CIM Explorer can do this.
      • Start Simulator and verify CIM agent has started and check # of ports have been created.
      • Ramani to help Hans set up ability to test with Ecute.
