Topics discussed.CMIS-C-CMIS [Coherent - Common Management Interface] - Chuan Qin/MSFT
- What is the goal of CMIS? >>>It is to configure and monitor optics/ transceivers.
- Why do need a special daemon, shouldn't be used xrvd or transceiver? .>> It is extending the xrvd
- How does SONiC consume these interfaces? Is it REst interface or CLI? will be discussed
- What are the plans to integrate with SONIC, need more detailed steps w.r.t CMIS interfaces as well as CMD firmware upgrades?
It would be very helpful if there would be a list of APIs which need to be implemented by vendors and how these are used. We are looking to understand which daemons are using it, CLI, etc.

Topics discussed.SRv6 HLD - Houdi from Alibaba + Intel
How did you arrive at this requirement ex: SRv6 sidList per Policy = 4 ? Is this specific to Alibaba deployment?
How deep can transit nodes be ? Why is this limited to 3 in HLD? - Again, deployment specific - more headers results in SRH header compression.
How does the design support tying up the policy with routes? right now it supports policy tie up with prefixes. can be enhanced.
The workflow diagram is a little confusing, needs an update and should discuss it once again - pl focus on w.r.t ownership of the route data and who does what modifications + in terms of consumers/producers.
Alibaba/Intel will share the PR for review...

It should be advised to use separate redis DB for events & alarms?" comment. Appreciate some responses from the community. I hope I am using the right channel.Eventd is planning to use stateDB to house event history table, alarm table and stats tables. They get updated every time an event/alarm is raised.These tables are of fixed size: event history table size is customizable with maximum size being 40k or time limit of 30 days - at which time, eventd deletes older records. Stats table is of fixed size with a handful of records. Alarm table only contains a record when an alarm is raised and record is removed when the alarm is cleared.How does stateDB gets overloaded?Madhu>> As the operational data stored in state db today, by adding events, alarms and stats (frequent data) into it makes state db easily out of limits. In addition to that a software (eventD open source)/design flaw makes it worse. Unlike APP_DB, State DB is more read friendly, more writes/updates due to events/alarms/stats become performane issues? Btw, do you get a chance to estiamte on state DB with new data / what is plan to mesure performance of state db with ne data writes?Is it because of db writes? OR 40k for history table is too much in a DB?Madhu>> Today each redis instansce setup with multile redis db's ex: APP_DB, STATE_DB etc.. Not 100% sure REDIS memory limits and how does it set for each redis db or any redis profile?? MSFT team can help on this.Using serparate redis DB means, I need to create a new redis instance and create a DB with that insance? OR create a DB off existing redis, redis2, redis3 instances?Madhu>>I'd suggest to use new redis db similar to state db ex: event db or altogether new redis instance (redis1, redis2 - ) ex: https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/blob/master/doc/database/multi_namespace_db_instances.mdOn Tuesday, April 27, 2021, 09:15:18 PM PDT, MS Reddy <msreddy...@gmail.com> wrote:

Topics discussed.SONiC Reproducible Build design - Xuhui
- Shouldn't version control be significant overhead? No - There is a version control file which will take care of dependencies
- Where the version control file is located in the code repo? It is at Docker level right now.
- For instance, If I want to bring a new Python package (it has dependencies) in the docker file it conflicts with the existing one. How to solve it ? You can disable the version check temporarily.
- Does version check framework check dependencies per branch ex: 200911 or 202006? Yes, the version check is per branch to freeze the requirements
- What stage do you freeze on the version? when you move from one debian version to another? We need to regenerate the version file
- Does the build system automatically take care of pulling packages from local storage when the remote website is down ? yes
- How does the framework support for golang libs and dependencies? Not right now, will be included.
- How does version control framework integrate with existing rules file configurations? Do we maintain both version files?

Topics discussed.Enhancement to Optical transceiver model - Dell
- Why did the design choose a plugin approach for Optical Transceivers? Ans: extensible
- Community feedback:- Though plugin approach is elegant, many vendors have difficulty to implement and validate, it would be nice to solve this problem in a common platform (90% possible).
- Can it be solved using a common platform and if any vendor specific (minimal) make it extendable by different ways (ex: configurations/jinja templating/ plugin etc..)? An optical transceiver working group will be started soon.
- Can the design support DD memory map parsing ? Let's discuss in the working group what to solve in common platform and what else need to extend through plugin or other means

Topics discussed.Sonic Qos Schedular & Shaping - Michael (BRCM)
- Can shaping config support on sub interfaces/ port channels ? No
- Do we have a plan to support vlan/port channel as many DC supports this use case?
- Why do need SAI_SCHEDULER_GROUP_ATTR_SCHEDULAR_PROFILE_ID when SAI_QUEUE_SCHEDULAR_PROFILE_ID available ? Ans: schedular_group will help for finer granularity.
- Do you have plan to publish spytest cases with feature? yes
- How to configure these new shaping configuration? is this coexists with config_db? Ans : new shaping attributes supported through sonic-mgmt-framework open-config model
- What are the shaping constraints w.r.t DPB (dynamic port breakout) ?
- Can shaping applied to CPU queues? suggestion - CoPP is the right place to configure the CPU queues?
- Can it be possible to configure shaping in percentage so that DPB can dynamically change the shaping per port?
- Can this shaping applied on operation port (profile applied and under traffic) ? No CLI to configure that today

Topics discussed.Monitoring and auto-Mitigating unhealthy containers n SONiC - Joe
- How Monit service is different from Supervisord? Monit does track and alert every 5 min, so user will not miss any, where as supervisord alerts only once.
- Can Monit service monitor resource usage? >> possible
- How does Monit service detects dockers come online dynamically? >> right now it's driven by confiig file
- Can we make Thresholds human readable? Can it be possible to calculate threshold in % values ? >> Joe will look into itt
- How can we determine these throsholds ? ex: How much threshold shall we fix for a BGP container? >> Joe will look into it
- Can Monit service help user specify docker system quotas? >> no
- Can database is consistent after auto restart ? >> Not right now. Monit service provide provision to disable features from auto-restart ex: database

Topics discussed.Gear Box Design - BRCM
- How does this design support for dynamic loading/discovering of external phy
- Why do pick multiple versions of phy-syncd? why can't glorify the existing syncd?
- Can vendors cherry-pick one synd instance out of all the instances/ is this possible switch off other syncd instances ?
- It is advised GearBox design should discuss with breakout/sub port work groups?
- Can this design supports dynamically updating eeprom / firmware ?
- How does this design treats system side vs line card link events ?

Topics discussed.SONiC Line card Hot Swap - Inspur
- How does it detect line card is broken ? Line card status must have [present/not present/ abnormal]
- How does this line card event detected by sonic ? is it event or poll based?
- I/O module / Linecard type detection is HW based detection
- List out the I/O or line cards supported in the design?
- How do you initilize the ASIC to line card type
- It should be discussed w.r.t sku/ dynamic breakout and gear box features.
Inspur team work with Xin to have sub group meeting to discuss more on the interested parties.Pre-OCP registration remainderThanksMadhuOn Tue, Feb 4, 2020 at 9:09 AM <msreddy...@gmail.com> wrote:MoM of today's OCP SONiC call 02/04/2020.Topics discussed.Debian 10 buster kernel upgrade 202006 release

- How does it help? the feature captures all the pci_e components in pcie.yaml config file and verify the components on demand.
- How is different from lspci? the feature aggregates the lspci command info and capture components list in pcie.yaml file for component check
- When does the pcie.yaml generated? Platform shall generate the file when there is any change.
- Is the feature generic for all the platforms ? yes, there is specific file for each platform and the platform owners should update it.
- Can the feature distinguish critical/non critical PCI_e components? can this be included in the design ?
- Next meeting - Jan 7th.
