[Bug 1868882] Re: [SRU] Put ipmctl into Bionic (and update necessary deps)
Hi Raphael, what do I need to do now to revisit this? According to the archives, this is where we are today: $ rmadison ipmctl ipmctl | 02.00.00.3474+really01.00.00.3469-1 | eoan/universe | source, amd64 ipmctl | 02.00.00.3709+ds-1 | focal/universe | source, amd64 ipmctl | 02.00.00.3774+ds-1 | groovy/universe | source, amd64 Groovy is the right version (per Intel, the release version is 02.00.00.3774) So I've should I add a task here for Focal and Bionic? since Eoan EOLs this month, there's no need to worry about that release. Ultimately, since the groovy version is now synced from Debian and is the "release" version, we need to get that version into Focal and Bionic. I'm happy to help (though will require learning along the way) however I can. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1868882 Title: [SRU] Put ipmctl into Bionic (and update necessary deps) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmctl/+bug/1868882/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Although it IS an MIR into Bionic, I'm afraid. The package does exist in Focal and Eoan, so I think THAT much is an SRU to update those to the official release version, but for Bionic, since it doesn't exist at all in Universe there, I think that is an MIR?

Hello Jeff, I just synced with other engineers about this particular bug and it was brought to my attention that a MIR was attempted before and didn't pass (LP: #1854181). Unfortunately, for this case, a MIR is needed because the package is in [universe].

[Bug 1868882] Re: [SRU] Put ipmctl into Bionic (and update necessary deps)
- ndctl backport from Focal isn't really needed to build it (only a debhelper version change) ndctl itself, correct, is not necessary. the current bionic ndctl package is fine. but package wise, from what I saw, libndctl6 (which I presume is built from the ndctl source) is a required dependency for ipmctl. Maybe I am not seeing everything in the machinery there, which is a valid response, I'm just noting what I observed while trying to install the Focal debs on Bionic. - are there any missing features in Bionic ndctl that disallow ipctl to work properly ? As far as I know, there are not, as I said, I had to install that as it was a package depenendency. dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libipmctl4:amd64: libipmctl4:amd64 depends on libndctl6 (>= 63); however: package libndctl6 is not installed. So the libndctl6 in Bionic won't work for libipmctl4 as it's version 61. so maybe that could be changed in packaging so that libipmctl4 can depend with any libndctl6 version, but I do not currently know if that causes issues with missing features or functions, or whatever. - want me to provide a PPA for you to test it ? Certainly.

[Bug 1868882] Re: [SRU] Put ipmctl into Bionic (and update necessary deps)
** Description changed: [IMPACT] Intel introduced NVDIMMs (Optane DCPMM devices) last year. Support for these landed in Bionic prior to release, all except for the ipmctl tool which was not ready for release at that time. Since then, ipmctl and libipmctl# have been brought into Eoan and Focal. However, as Bionic also supports these devices, we need to ensure that customers running Bionic are also able to fully configure and manage NVDIMMs. This requires the following packages pulled from Focal into Bionic: ipmctl libipmctl4 Additionally, the following libraries currently in Bionic will need to be updated to the versions in Focal: libdaxctl1 - libnxctl6 + libndctl6 Without this customers using these devices cannot perform low-level configuration which is necessary in order to begin creating namespaces on them using ndctl (ipmctl is used to do initial configuration, and ndctl then used to manage them afterwards). [TEST CASE] 1. Install ipmctl 2.00.00, libipmctl4 2.00.00, libdaxctl1 67-1, libndctl6 67-1 2. run the command 'sudo ipmctl show -dimm' and verify dimms are seen 3. run the command 'sudo ipmctl show -region' and verify that region info is seen 4. run a configuration command similar to 'sudo ipmctl create -goal -socket 0001 MemoryMode=100' to do low-level config and confirm that this was successful. [REGRESSION POTENTIAL] Regression potential is very low as this is introducing a new package to Bionic. The only regression concern is if libndctl6 version 67-1 introduces regressions in ndctl version 63 which is currently in Bionic. I've tested this scenario manually (currently with libndctl6 version 65-1 from Eoan, and ndctl version 61-2) adn was able to successfully probe the NVDIMM regions as well as create and delete namespaces for different AppDirect modes, so I don't think there will be any real regression here). + + UPDATE 3.25.20: Spoke with Intel and they suggested that the more recent + versions of libdaxctl1 and libndctl6 should be backwards compatible with + ndctl that currently exists in bionic (v. 61). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1868882 Title: [SRU] Put ipmctl into Bionic (and update necessary deps) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmctl/+bug/1868882/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
