Hello, The customer would like to know if there is any status/information? Best regards, Brett Hi Brett, so if I understand correctly this is about introduction of tape/by-path rules for tape robots (medium changers) in RHEL-7. If that is the case then that shouldn't be a problem. We don't have the support for them in RHEL-8 either, but upstream already supports them [1]. Backporting the commit is very easy, testing that produced symlinks are correct and accurate not so much. Hence it is great that Veritas wants to help us out with testing. Cheers, Michal [1] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/7f8ddf96a25162f06bd94a684cf700c128d18142 Hello Michal, > so if I understand correctly this is about introduction of tape/by-path rules for tape robots (medium changers) in RHEL-7. Yes sir. > If that is the case then that shouldn't be a problem. We don't have the support for them in RHEL-8 either, but upstream already supports them [1]. Excellent! When you are ready Veritas will fully test, and I believe they also can test RHEL 8. I will make sure. Thank you! Brett Hello Michal, Netbackup has been able to fully test RHEL 7 (7.8) and are very happy with the fix. They are creating a RHEL 8 (8.1) setup and will test there soon. Thank you!! Brett How I had them install: 1) yum install libmicrohttpd libmicrohttpd.so.12 glib2-devel 2) mkdir testpatch; cd testpatch 3) tar -xvf rhel7-tapePathPatch.tar 4) rpm -Uvh --force * 5) reboot fix merged to github master branch -> https://github.com/systemd-rhel/rhel-7/pull/100 What is the bussiness reason for doing a z-stream? This issue seems to impact on a limited amount of users and is super easy to work around (you just create that rule by hand.)
