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.

1. Feature Overview:
Feature Id:	[201247]
a. Name of Feature:	sysdiag package
b. Feature Description
The sysdiag package provides a front end for diagnostics, service procedures, system inventory,
service parameter configuration, and servicelog queries.  Many of these actions can currently be
done from the command line, but sysdiag provides a simpler interface.

2. Feature Details:
Sponsor:	PPC
Architectures:
ppc64

Arch Specificity: Both
Delivery Mechanism: Direct from community
Category:	Power Servicability
Request Type:	Package - New
d. Upstream Acceptance:	In Progress
Sponsor Priority	2
f. Severity: Medium
IBM Confidential:	no
Code Contribution:	IBM code
g. Component Version Target:	sysdiag 0.3.0

3. Business Case
While there are some inventory and diagnostic tools available from the command line, many of them
are unknown to customers or are difficult to use.  Simplification of service configuration,
diagnostics, and repair procedures will allow customers to more easily diagnose and service their
systems without having to resort to help lines.

How is this different from/an improvement on OpenHPI or similar tools?
Comment 2 IBM Bug Proxy 2009-03-03 20:12:32 UTC 
This package has been open sourced and provided at:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=44427&package_id=92526&release_id=219638
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2009-03-03 22:22:53 UTC 
Putting back in NEEDINFO.
Comment 4 Roman Rakus 2009-03-17 14:16:03 UTC 
Today sysdiag is not in good shape.
1) It has tdb package inside. It should be saparate package.
2) It uses old version of sysfs-utils and should be rewrited to use sysfs-utils version >= 2.0.0.

Issue 1 is easy to fix. I can provide patch. But I'm not much familiar with sysfsutils.
