opal-prd is not unstable and is not known to crash either. We need opal- prd to be running all the time on OPAL based systems for all Processor Runtime Diagnostics for POWER systems barring which, in the event of any hardware failures (Memory UEs, core/nest errors, etc)., the hardware components will not be isolated at the next IPL (reboot), causing the machine to potentially not boot successfully at all. In order to avoid such a scenario, we would: a. Want opal-prd to be installed and started by default on all Distributions running OPAL (Debian/Ubuntu included). https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skiboot/+bug/1555904 is intended to address this issue. b. Want systemd to restart the daemon if it stops for whatever reason (even a kill -9 by an ignorant superuser) and that is the purpose of this bug -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1671019 Title: PowerNV: Restart opal-prd daemon on any kind of failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skiboot/+bug/1671019/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
