1) The winOFED 3.2 RC2 release is based on winOFED source svn revision 3613

(branches\WOF3-2).



Last OFED release (3.1) based on svn.3414.



2) New Features or Changes:



Supported environments: (no Windows 8 support until the next release winOFED 3.3 ETA Q4'2013).

Windows Server 2008 R2/HPC and Windows 7 for x64, x86.



NetworkDirect.v2 provider

NDlist - display NetworkDirect.v2 device & IP address



uDAT / uDAPL 2.0.35 code base



OpenSM version 3.3.13 (see '%windir%\temp\osm.syslog or %windir%\temp\osm.log' for runtime SM details).



Mellanox RoCE not supported.



Mellanox FDR HCAs suppported.



Rsockets for Windows 1.0 supported [see rstream.exe & riostream.exe], thank you Herbert Schmitt! <***@oce.com>

See OFED_SDK install feature for code/build example (rstream.c).



***** Special Notes *****



winOFED no longer supports:



Mellanox Infinihost HCAs, Mellanox Connect-X HCA only.

Vista & Server 2008 (Longhorn) operating environments; Server 2008 R2/WIndows-7 fully supported.

Intel ia64 platforms; x64 and x86 only.





3) Bug fixes - all components.







**** Known Issues ****



IB cable disconnect during ND v1 transfer will crash system (winverbs problem).



Disabling the HCA on a system while openSM is running will crash the system (winmad issue).



If the install appears to hang, look around for popup windows requesting input which are

covered by other windows. Such is the case on Server 2008 initial install - Answer 'yes'

to always trust the OpenFabrics Alliance as a SW publisher.





Please:

Read the Release_notes.htm file!



make 'sure' your Mellanox HCA firmware is recent:

vstat.exe displays HCA firmware version & PSID.

flint.exe (found at the Mellanox website, Windows firmware tools download package)

displays PSID.



Thank you,



Mellanox and the OFED for Windows developers!
