[Starlingx-discuss] CentOS 7.6 rebase feature testing

[McKenna, Jason]

Hi Shuicheng, Cindy,

I am currently observing a few build issue with the f/centos76 branch + https://review.openstack.org/633431


-          The .lst file in stx-tools which downloads the Mellanox driver is currently downloading the old version, but the source code in stx-integ/networking/mellanox is assuming the new version

-          The integrity-kmod package (stx-integ/kernel/kernel-modules/integrity) do not build - at build-rpms time, the patches cannot be applied to the source code.

Do you have upcoming changes for these packages?

Cheers,
Jason

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:
Kenrel upgrade story: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2004521
Srpm & rpm upgrade story: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2004522
Mellanox driver support: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2004743



Best Regards

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
