On further investigation, this appears to be more serious than first thought: a) udevtrigger was a part of the udev package in RHEL5, but the udev package in RHEL6 doesn't include it. If this is due to an intentional change in udev, then the rdma init script will need updating. b) The "ib_mthca" Infiniband hardware module (required for the Infiniband cards we use) is not loaded by the rdma script, though it is unloaded by it at shutdown. This ib_mthca module needs to be loaded before the ib_ipoib module (also loaded by this init script) for IP over Infiniband interfaces to come up. In RHEL 5, this appears to be done through udevtrigger, but isn't working now due to this bug. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. The udevtrigger/udevsettle issue was already resolved in Fedora and the package simply needs reimporting into rhel6. However, the udev dependency was not previously taken care of. Both will be resolved prior to beta2. Actually, the Requires: udev was already present, although it didn't require a late enough version. The real problem was that the scripts still did udevtrigger and udevsettle instead of udevadm trigger and udevadm settle. Switching the init script to use the preferred method of invoking udev and requiring a later version of udev in the rpm spec file solves the problem. # rpm -q --requires rdma | grep udev udev >= 145 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. |
