=Comment: #0================================================= Emily J. Ratliff <ratliff.com> - 1. Feature Overview: Feature Id: [201962] a. Name of Feature: Add drmgr and lsslot to DLPAR tools package b. Feature Description The ppc64-utils package included in RHEL 5.4 does not include drmgr or lsslot. lsslot provides system configuration data to the user. drmgr is required to perform DLPAR operations. 2. Feature Details: Sponsor: PPC - P Architectures: ppc64 Arch Specificity: Purely Arch Specific Code Delivery Mechanism: Direct from community Category: Power Virtualization Request Type: Package - Version Update d. Upstream Acceptance: Accepted Sponsor Priority IBM Confidential: no Code Contribution: IBM code g. Component Version Target: 3. Business Case DLPAR is a common virtualization feature on the Power platform. Customers wanting DLPAR support today, must first remove the ppc64-utils package before installing the powerpc-utils package from an IBM site, since the packages conflict. Adding this support to ppc64-utils will remove this requirement and make it much easier for a Power customer to use DLPAR with Linux. 4. Primary contact at Red Hat: John Jarvis jjarvis 5.

IBM, is your proposed change also in upstream? I don't see it at http://powerpc-utils.ozlabs.org/
