I don't have the info readily available for which installations will
require copper vs. fiber.

My understanding is that testing if copper SFP's auto-negotiate has not
been attempted. Copper SFP's at 1000 Gb will probably work without issue
- so it's really the auto-neg part that I'm asking for as desired.

=20

Import is something that's important to test. I envision a customer
could do a local mirror on a bobcat, break the mirror and try an import
on the Cougar. There may also be a volume that could be imported which
is "production", but not necessarily critical/unique. It could be a
replicated file system such as an executable/application tree. The point
is, I think customers putting Cougar on the FC SAN/Array and eventually
importing volumes is more likely than someone really upgrading from
Bobcat to Cougar.

=20

GNS - Why not must have?

=20

This document is not just necessarily about what a customer would test -
it's also to some degree about timing. If you are telling me that DMIP
between Cougar's will not be testable in the Beta time frame, that
raises other concerns. While what you say about a cougar being
configured as a cluster is most likely true, it would not be
inconceivable that the two nodes could be configured as individual
gateways to specifically test DMIP.

=20

I have been out of the loop while traveling but I was under the
impression that we were going to try and release Cougar with support for
something greater than 32 vservers. Same for volumes. Regardless, I
don't want to remove those items as they are just that: Desired.

Thanks Josh, a few comments/questions:

=20

Connectivity:

- you put the Copper SFP's as desired. Among the beta customers, who has
fiber and who has copper right now? If they use copper isn't it a must
have for beta?

=20

Questions about some EverON Must-Have:

-          Import of Bobcat volume: since the Cougar will be tests
systems, why would they import a volume from their existing Bobcat in
production?

-          GNS: I don't think this should be must-have

-          DMIP: cannot be a must-have, with only one cluster in a box,
where the 2 boards will likely be clustered for HA, they won't be able
to do DMIP.

=20

About the Desired for EverON:

No plan do support >32vsvrs or > 100 volumes, this can be removed.
