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.
IOZONE
Your comment
sanjay: all my attempts at verifying IOzone indicate that the package does not exist in RHEL6. or is it using a different package name? please verify.
for now i'm assuming iozone is not included (i.e. unsupported) in RHEL6.
Response - IOZone is not included in RHEL. It is a tool that has to downloaded from the website mentioned in my doc.
Your comment
Sanjay: corrected last sentence based on graphic. please verify
Response - The correction you made is correct. :)
thanks Sanjay. i added an admonition that iozone was currently unavailable in RHEL6. please review.
also, please verify if the description of "iozone -a" is correct (and sufficient).
Don, I am not sure whether it is included in RHEL6. I have always installed it from the perf team kit without checking if it's included in the distro.
The iozone -a description is correct and sufficient. If you prefer, you can add that iozone -h (help) will provide a list of all the options that iozone supports.
