the latest ibmvscsi server for redhat
---- Additional Comments From lxie.com 2005-12-01 12:48 EDT ------- The attached ibmvscsis patch was built based on our latest ibmvscsi server code posted on sourceforge.net against kernel-2.6.9-22.18.EL.patchtest.60.src.rpm I got from http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/.pickup/ibm/squadrons/rhel4.shtml. The patch has been tested for the following vio clients: - redhat 2.6.9.11.EL (disk partiton) - suse 2.6.5-7.97-pseries (disk partition) - suse 2.6.5-7.241-pseries64 (whol disk) - AIX 5.3 (disk partition) RedHat, Please replace the previous patch with this one. Hmmm... the "/sys/devices/vio/$1/bus0/target0/type" files have gone. Was this deliberate? ---- Additional Comments From boutcher.com 2005-12-06 14:10 EDT ------- Yes...we determine it automatically. Also, should the module version number have been incremented? ---- Additional Comments From lxie.com 2005-12-07 00:06 EDT ------- 1.0.0 is the initial version number for RedHat release. The new patch has been incorporated into the patches available on:
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/.pickup/ibm/squadrons/rhel4.shtml
---- Additional Comments From lxie.com 2006-01-11 12:46 EDT ------- I installed kenel-2.6.9-24.EL(downloaded from http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/.pickup/ibm/squadrons/rhel4.shtml)on my system. I was able to boot the following vio clients served by the server running above kernel: - redhat 2.6.9.11.EL - suse 2.6.5-7.97-pseries - AIX 5.3 changed:

We have made a decision not to push for the IBM VSCSI server in distros shipping
in 2006. It was rejected from mainline in its current form, and we don\'t want
to keep perpetuating an out-of-mainline driver. This means that we will need to
work to ensure that people can use the \"blessed\" AIX based VSCSI server where
they want to do virtual I/O.
