Description of problem:
Hello,
on RHEL-9, tuned is not installed by default on bare-metal servers. This is a critical issue as tuned is crucial for the system performance and user experience.
Background:
===============================================================
tuned was removed from the @core group in Fedora ELN Jan 18, 2021.
commit a5d4f1b6c9fcbe20cb0c38eac5048d7d45d1dd17
Author: Jan Pazdziora <jpazdziora>

The tuned daemon should not be mandatory in minimal host installations.
This was done to minimize the footprint and reduce the number of packages that are required for Common Criteria certification.
===============================================================
For images, the issue was solved with the update of Image Builder (osbuild-composer) - see
Bug 2026709 - Install TuneD by default on all RHEL (virtual/cloud) images which use @core package group
This means that Tuned is installed by default on all RHEL images that are produced by Image Builder (osbuild-composer), but the change done in BZ2026709 has no effect on default installation that is done via Anaconda.
We need now a fix for default installations done with Anaconda.
We think that we can fix the issue by adding tuned to the @base/@standard groups. We don't want tuned to be added back to the @core group.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Tested with Beaker on bare metal server with these composes. In all cases, tuned was installed by default (checked in multi-user.target)
RHEL-9.0.0 GA
RHEL-9.0.0-updates-20220621.1
RHEL-9.1.0-20220621.1
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Install RHEL-9 compose (Reserve Workflow) on bare-metal system in Beaker
2) rpm -qa | grep tuned
Alternatively, checked if tuned is in @base/@standard package groups:
$dnf group info base | grep -i tuned
$dnf group info standard | grep -i tuned
Actual results:
tuned is not installed by default on RHEL-9 on bare metal server
Expected results:
tuned is installed by default on fresh RHEL-9 install on bare metal server
Additional info:
Tuned has been added to the Mandatory Packages section of the @base package group.
I have tested the fix with RHEL-9.0.0-updates-20220627.0 and I can confirm that
* for the installation type Server, tuned is now installed by default
* for the Minimal installation, tuned is not installed by default
This is expected behavior, corresponding to the fact that tuned is now in the @base package group.
I'm going to close this BZ.
