[Starlingx-discuss] CentOS 7.6 rebase feature testing

Tue Jan 29 00:27:54 UTC 2019

Hi Ken,
The change in this patch is simple, so I expect it could get merged soon. But it still depends on the reviewer.
I prefer Jason could cherry-pick the change locally first.
It is just about 1 rpm change in mirror. Without this change, there may be issue in deployment.

Hi Jason,
For integrity build failure, could you help confirm whether below two patch exist in stx-integ or not?
Or please share me the build failure log, then I could have a check.
Thanks.

Shuicheng,

Do you have a timeline when you expect the patch below will merge?

Cindy,

Jason is doing our build internally and the “integrity-kmod” fails to build.  Are you seeing the same issue on your side?  If not, then we can get Jason to share what he is seeing tomorrow.

Regards,
Ken Y

Hi Ghada/Numan,
All code for CentOS 7.6 upgrade has been merged to centos76 feature branch.
Please have a try with it, and notify me if there is any problem.
Manifest file I used is attached, it is with last week’s master code + feature branch code for stx-integ/stx-upstream/stx-tools/stx-root.

Here is a simple summary for CentOS 7.6 upgrade:
30 srpm & 650+ rpm upgraded.
Kernel version upgraded to 3.10.0-957.1.3 for both std and rt kernel.
Out of tree driver upgraded/updated: i40e/i40evf/ixgbe/ixgbevf/tpm/integrity/mellanox/rdma-core/libibverbs.
Mellanox driver support in DPDK is disabled. (DPDK/OpenVswitch need be upgraded later to support Mellanox driver again.)
You could get more info from below stories:

Sorry for the confusion. Yes Numan will wait until all the pending patches are merged in the feature branch. Is this planned for the end of next week (before Chinese New Year holidays)?

Ghada,
In today’s meeting, Ken mentioned that he’d like to see all pending patches merged to f/CentOS7.6 for Numan to start. But if Numan wants to start earlier, that’s fine. @Shuicheng should be able to send out the build instructions.

Thx. - cindy

Hi Cindy,
My understanding from the F2F meeting last week that you already discussed with Ada testing the CentOS 7.6 rebase image (feature branch) starting Feb 1 while your team is off for Chinese New Year’s.

Can you please send the instructions for building the feature branch to the stx mailing list? Numan will try to have an image built to try it out in one of the WR labs (time-permitting).
I expect the feature branch is rebased to the latest from master.

Hi Ada,
Given that there are driver upgrades for i40e & ixgbe, I assume you are planning to test on baremetal hardware, not just in the virtual env. Are your baremetal labs setup now? What NIC types do you have covered in your labs?

Thanks,
Ghada
