Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1374716
Add vm-dump-metrics and vm-dump-metrics-devel on s390x and ppc64 and ppc64le
Last modified: 2017-08-01 13:29:54 EDT
Description of problem: vhostmd is a host daemon which generates metrics for guests. It is used by SAP guests in particular. vm-dump-metrics(-devel) is a guest package which can be used to read these metrics. It is also used by SAP software. These packages are currently build for all architectures, but we only ship when on x86_64 in "RHEL for SAP". It has been requested that these packages are added to: s390x ppc64 ppc64le (or maybe not? - this is not clear - see below) in: RHEL 7.2-z RHEL 7.3 RHEL 7.4 and onwards Some unknowns about this request: - Are we creating a special RHEL for SAP channel for POWER8 and s390x? - Are there different channels for host and guest, or is it all the same? - Are we shipping the ppc64le version? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - vhostmd-0.5-11.el7_1 See also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182612 (s390x) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1118683 (POWER8) https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/buildinfo?buildID=423527 http://git.app.eng.bos.redhat.com/git/rcm/rcm-metadata.git/tree/distill_ng/rhel-7/rhel-7.3-prepopulate.json#n65734
Frank can you help with the questions in comment 0?
I see that most of the questions have been answered around ppc64 and ppc64le, both of which are needed. We also need to support s390x as we are adding that arch to RHEL for SAP Applications as well. To answer the other questions above: Yes, we have separate RHEL for SAP Applications channels where we put the unique SAP Apps content as this content can NEVER be shipped in our standard RHEL channel. And yes, we have different channels for each arch, similar to what we do for RHEL. I think that's the last of the questions, but if more is needed, please let me know. Regards, Cathy

devel_ack+ for missing ppc64le, not sure why I though that SAP is not on ppc64le Thanks Lubos
Currently we're looking for just the following packages: * vm-dump-metrics * vm-dump-metrics-devel on the following architectures: * ppc64 * ppc64le * s390x for the following version: * RHEL 7.2-z * RHEL 7.3-z * RHEL 7.4 Note that we're in fact *not* wishing to distribute vhostmd at all (although the above packages are built from the vhostmd sources). vhostmd is a hypervisor package which will be built and distributed by IBM. We only need to guest-side packages as above. I've update the summary to make this clearer.
