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:	[201542]
a. Name of Feature:	FCP - Enhanced Trace Facility
b. Feature Description
The zfcp error recovery trace will be reworked and the remaining traces in s390dbf are updated under
consideration of:  - addition of trace entries for important events, if they are missing  - removal
of trace entries, when no information is gained from the trace entry  - rework of the content of
trace entries in order to pass meaningful information  - assignment of appropriate loglevels to
trace entries, to provide similar level of detail information through all trace facilities in same
debug level.

Additional Comments:	This feature is for validation, it is expected to get included into RHEL5.3

2. Feature Details:
Sponsor:	zSeries
Architectures:
s390x

Arch Specificity: Purely Arch Specific Code
Affects Kernel Modules: Yes
Delivery Mechanism: Direct from community
Category:	zSeries
Request Type:	Driver - Feature from IBM
d. Upstream Acceptance:	Accepted
Sponsor Priority	1
f. Severity: High
IBM Confidential:	no
Code Contribution:	IBM code
g. Component Version Target:	2.6.25

3. Business Case
Enhancing the zfcp tracing facility will allow faster problem determination in case of customer
situations by providing complete and meaningful trace information in appropriate levels of detail to
make internal states of operation transparent.
