631561 – [6.1 FEAT] Implement lsmem and chmem

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: [66881]
a. Name of Feature: [6.1 FEAT] Implement lsmem and chmem
b. Feature Description
This feature provides the lsmem and chmem commands to manage memory hotplug. With lsmem, you can
display the online status of all available memory. With chmem, you can set memory online or offline.

The lsmem command lists the ranges of available memory with their online status. The listed memory
blocks correspond to the memory block representation in sysfs. The lsmem command also shows the
memory block size, the device size, and the amount of memory in online and offline state. 
The chmem command to set a particular size or range of memory online or offline

[For output use monospace font for proper display!]
lsmem sample output:

Comment 2 John Jarvis 2010-09-13 19:45:46 UTC

Is this a new package request?  If so, is the package already in Fedora?

Comment 3 Gonzalo Muelas Serrano 2010-09-14 09:18:44 UTC

Hello John,
this will be part of s390tools/utils and be provided as a backport to existing RHEL 6.0 version.
Unfortunately through the mirroring this information got lost. I have updated the component here directly.

IBM is signed up to test and provide feedback, setting OtherQA.

Comment 10 John Jarvis 2010-12-01 17:08:27 UTC

This enhancement request was evaluated by the full Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
team for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux minor release.   As a 
result of this evaluation, Red Hat has tentatively approved inclusion of 
this feature in the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update minor release.   
While it is a goal to include this enhancement in the next minor release 
of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the enhancement is not yet committed for 
inclusion in the next minor release pending the next phase of actual 
code integration and successful Red Hat and partner testing.
