1. Feature Overview:
Feature Id:	[201962]
a. Name of Feature:	Add drmgr and lsslot to DLPAR tools package
b. Feature Description
The ppc64-utils package included in RHEL 5.4 does not include drmgr or lsslot. lsslot provides
system configuration data to the user. drmgr is required to perform DLPAR operations.

2. Feature Details:
Sponsor:	PPC - P
Architectures:
ppc64

Arch Specificity: Purely Arch Specific Code
Delivery Mechanism: Direct from community
Category:	Power Virtualization
Request Type:	Package - Version Update
d. Upstream Acceptance:	Accepted
Sponsor Priority	
IBM Confidential:	no
Code Contribution:	IBM code
g. Component Version Target:	

3. Business Case
DLPAR is a common virtualization feature on the Power platform. Customers wanting DLPAR support
today, must first remove the ppc64-utils package before installing the powerpc-utils package from an
IBM site, since the packages conflict. Adding this support to ppc64-utils will remove this
requirement and make it much easier for a Power customer to use DLPAR with Linux.

The latest version of powerpc-utils (v1.2.1) is available at powerpc-utils.sourceforge.net, or you can download a tarball directly at  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/powerpc-utils/powerpc-utils-1.2.1.tar.gz.

@IBM

We need to confirm that there is commitment to test 
for the resolution of this request during the RHEL 5.5 Test
Phase, if it is accepted into the release.

RHEL 5.5 Beta Test Phase is expected to begin around February
2010.

Please post a confirmation as soon as possible, 
including the contact information for testing engineers.

Comment 6 John Jarvis 2009-10-23 15:08:11 UTC

IBM is signed up to test and provide feedback.

Comment 8 Roman Rakus 2009-10-27 15:04:51 UTC

IBM, is your proposed change also in upstream? I don't see it at http://powerpc-utils.ozlabs.org/

The powerpc-utils package has moved to sourceforge. The updated package is available here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/powerpc-utils/

Comment 10 Roman Rakus 2009-10-29 12:53:49 UTC

I see, thanks.

Comment 12 John Jarvis 2009-10-29 16:29:30 UTC

This enhancement request was evaluated by the full Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
team for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux minor release.   As a 
result of this evaluation, Red Hat has tentatively approved inclusion of 
this feature in the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update minor release.   
While it is a goal to include this enhancement in the next minor release 
of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the enhancement is not yet committed for 
inclusion in the next minor release pending the next phase of actual 
code integration and successful Red Hat and partner testing.

Comment 13 Roman Rakus 2009-12-08 14:11:30 UTC

Fixed in ppc64-utils-0.11-13.el5
