+2370,2369 [WIX]\r
+ wix\win7\x64\wof.wxs: added comment indicating Win7_x64 installer was for Server 2008 R2 also.\r
+ WIX/build-OFA-dist.bat: update usage instructions to reflect WinOF is now under Trunk\ and\r
+ no longer under branches. \r
+\r
+2368 - [DAPL2] dt-cli.bat: %ERRORLEVEL% inside a for loop does not evaluate as expected; change to !ERRORLEVEL!\r
+2367 - [DOCS] manual.htm: Update DAPL provider text w.r.t. names in DAT.conf file.\r
+2364 - [IPOIB] IPoIB PXE boot support: Clear remainder of chaddr\r
+ The IPoIB PXE boot firmware (gPXE) now sends the 8-byte port GUID in\r
+ the DHCP chaddr field. WinOF replaces the first 6 bytes of chaddr\r
+ with the Ethernet-style MAC address, but leaves the remain untouched.\r
+ This results in trailing garbage after the Ethernet-style MAC in the modified chaddr.\r
+ Fix by explicitly zeroing the remainder of chaddr.\r

+ which is 20 secs)\r
+ Modified : /gen1/branches/WOF2-1/core/al/al_ci_ca_shared.c\r
+ Modified : /gen1/branches/WOF2-1/core/al/kernel/al_pnp.c\r
+\r
+2353 - [ND provider] patch to fix to 2333. Eemove a facility to define MaxDataInlineSize from application,\r
+ because it breaks MS API\r
+ [ND porvider] Improved latency of ND provider by using INLINE send. [winof: 2333, 2352]\r
+ This patch adds usage of INLINE DATA facility of Mellanox HCAs for improving latency of ND provider.\r
+ Ideas of the patch:\r
+ - by default, ND provider will create QP with inline data of 160 bytes;\r
+ (this can enlarge user's QP size)\r
+ - one can change this default by defining environment variable IBNDPROV_MAX_INLINE_SIZE;\r

+ <li><font face="Arial">IPoIB static IPv4 address assignment points of \r
+ Interest<br>\r
+ When installing WinOF one must consider how the Interface name 'Local Area \r
+ Connection {x}' is assigned to the IPoIB ports in order to correctly target \r
+ IP address assignment. <br>\r
+ Assume the target compute node has two Ethernet port and your HCA has two IB \r
+ ports. After the 1st WinOF installation, or node reprovisioing \r
+ you will see the following assignments:</font><ul>\r
+ <li><font face="Arial">Ethernet port 0 is 'Local Area Connection'</font></li>\r
+ <li><font face="Arial">Ethernet port 1 is 'Local Area Connection 2'</font></li>\r
+ <li><font face="Arial">IB port 1 is 'Local Area Connection 3'</font></li>\r
+ <li><font face="Arial">IB port 2 is 'Local Area Connection 4'</font></li>\r
+</ul>\r
+ <p><font face="Arial">A few minutes after the WinOF install completes, the \r
+ HPC manager will rename the active IPoIB 'Local Area Connection 3' network \r
+ interface to the 'Application' network interface along with the active \r
+ Ethernet interface being renamed to the 'Private' network; 'Local Area \r
+ Connection' is no longer in use.<br>\r
+ If WinOF is uninstalled and then reinstalled without node reprovisioning, \r
+ the active IPoIB network interface is installed as 'Local Area Connection'. \r
+ Within a few minutes, the active IPoIB network interface will again be \r
+ renamed the 'Application' network interface.<br>\r
+ Summary:<br>\r
+ 1st WinOF install, an IB cable is attached to HCA port 1, \r
+ IPoIB is named 'Local Area Connection 3'.<br>\r
+ 2nd WinOF install, IPoIB is named 'Local Area Connection' as \r
+ the Ethernet interface is renamed the 'Private' network.<br>\r
