RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Pavel Cahyna 2023-02-22 16:32:47 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2172599 +++

Description of problem:
If tools like lsdasd, dasdview, dasdinfo and many others (available in the s390utils package) are not installed, ReaR will create a rescue image, but the disk layout information will be wrong. The image will also lack these tools, thus it will be unusable for restoring.

How reproducible:
easily

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ReaR on a machine without s390utils (and s390utils-base, s390utils-core)
2. Run "rear savelayout"
3. Examine the resulting /var/lib/rear/layout/disklayout.conf

Actual results:
some entries are wrong, e.g. dasd_channel lines are missing parameters

Expected results:
rear should bring in the required utilities automatically and in the disklayout.conf file the dasd_channel lines have arguments like 0.0.0120

Additional info:
The s390utils package is actually a metapackage that depends on many other packages. The required tools are in the s390utils-base and s390utils-core packages, so one may add dependencies just on those.
