Description Justin Clift 2010-05-11 15:26:57 UTC

Description of problem:

Although srptools is present in RHEL 6 beta, and includes srp_daemon, srp_daemon.sh, and run_srp_daemon, it appears to be missing the init.d scripting to start this automatically at system boot.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

srptools-0.0.4-7.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:

Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the RHEL 6 Infiniband packages (ie srptools, rdma, various others)
2. Check in /etc/rdma, /etc/ofed, and /etc/init.d/* for scripting to automatically start the SRP HA daemon at boot time.
3.
  
Actual results:

It doesn't seem to be present.


Expected results:

There should be a mechanism to automatically start the SRP daemon at boot time, possibly as part of the "rdma" init script (similar to how OFED works).

Additional info:

OFED does this via the /etc/init.d/openibd script, making use of an "SRPHA_ENABLE" variable (yes/no) in /etc/infiniband/openib.conf.  Maybe a similar approach would be useful here, possibly inside the rdma init scripts?

This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

Per Doug, moving to 6.1

Comment 7 Doug Ledford 2011-02-04 03:56:43 UTC

FWIW, hooking this into the rdma startup script is the wrong place to do it.  A script from another package should never be starting binaries from this package.  A new script was created, srpd, and that service will now bring up the srp daemon at a point in the boot up sequence that is appropriate for a network block device.  Please test this in your environment, I may need to adjust the startup sequence to work with devices that are automounted from /etc/fstab.
