Hello,
Just a quick reminder the hotel blocks expires
*tomorrow at 5pm (EST)*. If there is a chance you
might be coming go ahead reserve a room... You can always cancel
Here is the info on that:
http://nfsv4bat.org/Events/2017/September/BAT/index.html
If you are coming and have not communicated that please do so ASAP.
Finally, Chuck Lever will be giving a two part talk/class on how
to support NFS/RDMA. Tentatively the first part will be
on Tues Sept 26 and the send part on Wed Sept 27.
Each talk/class will about 90mins and we are thinking they
would start around 9am EST, but that is flexible since
I have the room all day on both days.
Title:
Introduction to NFS/RDMA for sustaining engineers
Abstract:
The presentation explains how NFS/RDMA works, for those who
are already familiar with NFS. Attendees would learn about
operation and architecture of NFS/RDMA. Skills can then be
applied to understanding network captures and debugging
output.
Syllabus:
- NFS/RDMA: benefits and weaknesses
- Introduction to the RDMA verbs API (RFC 5040)
- How do RDMA-enabled storage protocols use RDMA verbs?
- An overview of RPC-over-RDMA operation (RFC 8166)
- The NFS Upper Layer binding to RPC-over-RDMA (RFC 5667)
- Live demo of the wireshark RPC-over-RDMA dissector
Chuck estimates each item would take 20 to 30 minutes
A Telepresence will be available via bluejeans or WebEx,
plus I'm hoping to record both sessions.
Chuck will also make the slides available in PDF form.
I think that is it...
