[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1817321] Re: installer does not support iSCSI iBFT
the source code for the serverguide is migrating to a different markup language for 20.04. The migration was done a few days before these revisions were committed. They need to be copied to the new source.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1817321] Re: installer does not support iSCSI iBFT
Hi Fred, At this time it's only available in the netboot images (network installs) [1]. It should be available on ISOs in Eoan release 19.10 and next Bionic point-release 18.04.3 (currently scheduled to August [2]). We'll put some documentation about the installer kernel/preseed parameters soon, but you should need two: - disk-detect/ibft/enable=true to detect disks based on the iBFT config. - partman-iscsi/iscsi_auto=true for partitioner on iscsi disks to set ISCSI_AUTO=true /etc/iscsi/iscsi.initramfs so that the installed systems tries to boot based on the iBFT config.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1817321] Re: installer does not support iSCSI iBFT
Verified debian-installer in {disco,cosmic,bionic}-proposed.
The verification has been done with the netboot image files
for disco/cosmic/bionic (and hwe-netboot for bionic),
using regular and lvm partitioning,
on VMs for the architectures amd64/i386/arm64/ppc64el
and baremetal for amd64.
All tests successfully installed and booted,
and have been checked for right release name,
partitioning method, installed kernel version,
installer's kernel version and kernel messages
(no errors, no warnings, weird messages, etc.)
i.e.,
$ lsb_release -cs
$ mount | grep -w /
$ uname -rvm
$ sudo grep 'Linux version' /var/log/installer/syslog
$ sudo grep kernel: /var/log/installer/syslog

Bug description:
[Impact]
* It's not possible to access iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) information
(settings for network interface, initiator, and target) in the installer
because the 'iscsi_ibft' module is not present in udeb packages.
* Even if it was, the installer does not handle iBFT information at all,
thus any settings are ignored, and iSCSI-related configuration has to
be done manually or with workarounds.
* This impacts user-experience and automatic installation on systems and
deployments which actually do provide the iBFT feature and information,
but cannot use it practically.
* With proper iBFT support in the installer (kernel module in udeb package
and automatic iSCSI-related configuration) users will be able to rely on
iBFT to install/deploy Ubuntu on their servers and datacenters.
* These fixes add the 'iscsi_ibft' kernel module in the scsi-modules udeb,
and configure network/iSCSI according to iBFT information in disk-detect.
This is done in disk-detect so that the iSCSI LUNs are detected as disks
(useful in case of no other disks in the system so the installer doesn't
complain nor wait too long) and that any partman-related preseed options
are not required and may be still available for the user.
[Test Case]
* linux package / kernel module in udeb:
$ dpkg-deb -c scsi-modules_*.udeb | grep iscsi_ibft.ko
Check the module loads in the installer environment.
See comment with example for disco.
* d-i/hw-detect/partman-iscsi package:
See comments 11, 12, 13.
[Regression Potential]
* linux package: low, the kernel module is not loaded by default,
and only checks whether iBFT information is present in firmware,
then exposes that in sysfs in read-only mode.
* d-i/hw-detect/partman-iscsi:
- d-i: kernel version update to include iscsi_ibft module,
based on kernel released to -updates plus one week
monitoring bug reports -- it should be OK.
Tested on amd64/i386/arm64/ppc64el on QEMU, plus amd64
on baremetal -- see comment 11.
- hw-detect: low, the changes are enabled by a preseed option.
see comment 12.
- partman-iscsi: low, simple changes, plus one fix that has
been tested in detail, and falls back to

disk-detect found the iscsi target/lun configured in ibft.
bionic currently needed the workaround to download/install
the iscsi_ibft.ko module, because the d-i changes are not
yet in (update to kernel version that includes it in scsi-modules.udeb).

Hello Mauricio, or anyone else affected, Accepted hw-detect into cosmic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hw- detect/1.117ubuntu6.18.10.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-cosmic to verification-done-cosmic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-cosmic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1817321] Re: installer does not support iSCSI iBFT
Adding patches and test procedure for the debian-installer userspace part. (disk-detect probes iSCSI iBFT disks; partman-iscsi sets ISCSI_AUTO=true for booting.) The d-i patches should be uploaded/built _after_ hw-detect and partman-iscsi are successfully built and published, so that its new versions are picked up. The d-i kernel version change has been tested for the architectures amd64, i386, arm64, and ppc64el, on both regular/lvm partitioning, using VMs/QEMU for all archs, plus baremetal for amd64. The hw-detect/partman-iscsi has been tested with a simple, virtual iSCSI/iBFT setup using iPXE, which will be described shortly. cheers, Mauricio -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817321 Title: installer does not support iSCSI iBFT Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in hw-detect package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in partman-iscsi package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in debian-installer source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in hw-detect source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in partman-iscsi source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in debian-installer source package in Cosmic: Confirmed Status in hw-detect source package in Cosmic: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Cosmic: Fix Released Status in partman-iscsi source package in Cosmic: Confirmed Status in debian-installer source package in Disco: Confirmed Status in hw-detect source package in Disco: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Disco: Fix Released Status in partman-iscsi source package in Disco: Confirmed Status in debian-installer source package in Eoan: Confirmed Status in hw-detect source package in Eoan: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Eoan: Fix Released Status in partman-iscsi source package in Eoan: Confirmed Bug description: [Impact] * It's not possible to access iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) information (settings for network interface, initiator, and target) in the installer because the 'iscsi_ibft' module is not present in udeb packages. * Even if it was, the installer does not handle iBFT information at all, thus any settings are ignored, and iSCSI-related configuration has to be done manually or with workarounds. * This impacts user-experience and automatic installation on systems and deployments which actually do provide the iBFT feature and information, but cannot use it practically. * With proper iBFT support in the installer (kernel module in udeb package and automatic iSCSI-related configuration) users will be able to rely on iBFT to install/deploy Ubuntu on their servers and datacenters. * These fixes add the 'iscsi_ibft' kernel module in the scsi-modules udeb, and configure network/iSCSI according to iBFT information in disk-detect.

** Patch added: "bionic_d-i.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1817321/+attachment/5265731/+files/bionic_d-i.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817321 Title: installer does not support iSCSI iBFT Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in hw-detect package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in partman-iscsi package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in debian-installer source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in hw-detect source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in partman-iscsi source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in debian-installer source package in Cosmic: Confirmed Status in hw-detect source package in Cosmic: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Cosmic: Fix Released Status in partman-iscsi source package in Cosmic: Confirmed Status in debian-installer source package in Disco: Confirmed Status in hw-detect source package in Disco: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Disco: Fix Released Status in partman-iscsi source package in Disco: Confirmed Status in debian-installer source package in Eoan: Confirmed Status in hw-detect source package in Eoan: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Eoan: Fix Released Status in partman-iscsi source package in Eoan: Confirmed Bug description: [Impact] * It's not possible to access iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) information (settings for network interface, initiator, and target) in the installer because the 'iscsi_ibft' module is not present in udeb packages. * Even if it was, the installer does not handle iBFT information at all, thus any settings are ignored, and iSCSI-related configuration has to be done manually or with workarounds. * This impacts user-experience and automatic installation on systems and deployments which actually do provide the iBFT feature and information, but cannot use it practically. * With proper iBFT support in the installer (kernel module in udeb package and automatic iSCSI-related configuration) users will be able to rely on iBFT to install/deploy Ubuntu on their servers and datacenters. * These fixes add the 'iscsi_ibft' kernel module in the scsi-modules udeb, and configure network/iSCSI according to iBFT information in disk-detect. This is done in disk-detect so that the iSCSI LUNs are detected as disks (useful in case of no other disks in the system so the installer doesn't complain nor wait too long) and that any partman-related preseed options are not required and may be still available for the user. [Test Case] * linux package / kernel module in udeb: $ dpkg-deb -c scsi-modules_*.udeb | grep iscsi_ibft.ko Check the module loads in the installer environment. See comment with example for disco. * d-i/hw-detect/partman-iscsi package: See comments 11, 12, 13. [Regression Potential] * linux package: low, the kernel module is not loaded by default, and only checks whether iBFT information is present in firmware, then exposes that in sysfs in read-only mode. * d-i/hw-detect/partman-iscsi: - d-i: kernel version update to include iscsi_ibft module, based on kernel released to -updates plus one week monitoring bug reports -- it should be OK. Tested on amd64/i386/arm64/ppc64el on QEMU, plus amd64 on baremetal -- see comment 11. - hw-detect: low, the changes are enabled by a preseed option. see comment 12. - partman-iscsi: low, simple changes, plus one fix that has been tested in detail, and falls back to previous behavior if it fails. see comment 13. [Other Info] * This has been verified both by the developer with a simple iSCSI iBFT environment (2 VMs: iSCSI target & initiator with UEFI+iPXE) and by an user with system/firmware that supports iBFT for iSCSI.

Test Procedure with KVM guests + iPXE
=
- 2 guests: iSCSI target/server and iSCSI initiator/client.
- 1 bridge for iSCSI traffic (virbr-iscsi, new), static ip.
- 1 bridge for internet access (virbr0, exists), dhcp ip.
Host:
Configure the iSCSI bridge and QEMU access in the host:
$ sudo ip link add dev virbr-iscsi type bridge
$ sudo ip link set dev virbr-iscsi up
$ echo 'allow virbr-iscsi' | sudo tee -a /etc/qemu/bridge.conf
$ sudo chmod +s /usr/lib/qemu/qemu-bridge-helper
iSCSI target:
This guest serves an iSCSI target with one LUN
in iSCSI NIC with IP 10.0.0.1 for IP 10.0.0.2.

This guest first boots iPXE to configure iBFT,
and then boots/chainloads to debian-installer.
The netboot initrd does not contain all patched udebs,
so download and install disk-detect and partman-iscsi
from the PPA during the install.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1817321] Re: installer does not support iSCSI iBFT
Test for scsi-modules udeb in Disco:
---
Check the original/modified udeb contents:
$ dpkg-deb -c scsi-modules-4.19.0-13-generic-di_4.19.0-13.14_amd64.udeb | grep
iscsi_ibft.ko
$
$ dpkg-deb -c
scsi-modules-4.19.0-13-generic-di_4.19.0-13.14+test20190221b1_amd64.udeb | grep
iscsi_ibft.ko
-rw-r--r-- root/root 17393 2019-02-21 19:27
./lib/modules/4.19.0-13-generic/kernel/drivers/firmware/iscsi_ibft.ko
Check the module loads in the installer:
$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/disco/main/installer-
amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/{linux,initrd.gz}
$ virt-install \
> --name disco-ibft \
> --vcpus 2 \
> --memory 1024 \
> --network user,model=virtio \
> --graphics none \
> --disk none \
> --boot kernel=linux,initrd=initrd.gz,kernel_args='console=ttyS0'
After network configuration, udeb download/install, in users/password,
select go back and exit to shell.
Original udeb already downloaded and does not contain module:
~ # grep 'retrieving scsi.modules' /var/log/syslog
Feb 22 13:08:57 anna[1509]: DEBUG: retrieving scsi-modules-4.19.0-13-generic-di
4.19.0-13.14
~ # modinfo -n iscsi_ibft
modinfo: ERROR: Module iscsi_ibft not found.
Download modified udeb, install, test module load:
~ # wget https://.../scsi-modules-4.19.0-13-generic-
di_4.19.0-13.14+test20190221b1_amd64.udeb
~ # udpkg -i

Title:
installer does not support iSCSI iBFT
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
[Impact]
* It's not possible to access iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) information
(settings for network interface, initiator, and target) in the installer
because the 'iscsi_ibft' module is not present in udeb packages.
* Even if it was, the installer does not handle iBFT information at all,
thus any settings are ignored, and iSCSI-related configuration has to
be done manually or with workarounds.
* This impacts user-experience and automatic installation on systems and
deployments which actually do provide the iBFT feature and information,
but cannot use it practically.
* With proper iBFT support in the installer (kernel module in udeb package
and automatic iSCSI-related configuration) users will be able to rely on
iBFT to install/deploy Ubuntu on their servers and datacenters.
* These fixes add the 'iscsi_ibft' kernel module in the scsi-modules udeb,
and configure network/iSCSI according to iBFT information in disk-detect.
This is done in disk-detect so that the iSCSI LUNs are detected as disks
(useful in case of no other disks in the system so the installer doesn't
complain nor wait too long) and that any partman-related preseed options
are not required and may be still available for the user.
[Test Case]
* linux package / kernel module in udeb:
$ dpkg-deb -c scsi-modules_*.udeb | grep iscsi_ibft.ko
Check the module loads in the installer environment.
See comment with example for disco.
* d-i/hw-detect package:
(to be done)
[Regression Potential]
* linux package: low, the kernel module is not loaded by default,
and only checks whether iBFT information is present in firmware,
then exposes that in sysfs in read-only mode.
* d-i/hw-detect:
(to be done)
[Other Info]
* This has been verified both by the developer with a simple iSCSI
iBFT environment (2 VMs: iSCSI target & initiator with UEFI+iPXE)
and by an user with system/firmware that supports iBFT for iSCSI.
