Scientific Linux 4.3 Release Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
The following topics are covered in this document:
o Changes to the Scientific Linux installation program
(Anaconda)
o General information
o Kernel Notes
o Changes to drivers and hardware support
o Changes to packages
Installation Related Notes
The following section includes information specific to installation of
Scientific Linux and the Anaconda installation program.
Note
In order to upgrade an already-installed Scientific Linux 4x system
to 4.3, you must use yum to update those packages that have changed.
Instructions can be found at
https://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/upgrade.4x
You may use Anaconda to perform a fresh installation of Scientific
Linux 4.3 or to perform an upgrade from Scientific Linux 30x to
Scientific Linux 4.3.
o The Scientific Linux 4.3 installation program terminates with
the error "install exited abnormally -- received signal 11" early in
the installation process if a Sony PCGA-CD51 external PCMCIA CD-ROM
drive is connected.
There are two workarounds for this issue:
1. If you are using the drive as the installation source, add the
following options at the installation boot prompt:
pci=off ide1=0x180,0x386
2. If you are not using the drive as the install source, either
disconnect it before attempting the installation or add the
following option at the installation boot prompt:
nopcmcia
o Installation of Scientific Linux 4.3 is known to have
an issue with USB peripherals on IBM(R) BladeCenter(R) HS20-8832
systems.
To avoid this issue, you must perform either of two actions:
o Install Scientific Linux 4.3 x86_64
o If you are installing Scientific Linux 4.3 for the
x86 architecture, you must first move the USB IRQ from line #7 to
another available IRQ line. This will prevent stray interrupts
from disrupting the USB device and the installation of the OS.
Consult your hardware vendor for more information about changing
IRQ lines in your system.
General Information
This section contains general information not specific to any other
section of this document.
o The InfiniBand Architecture (IBA) is an industry standard that defines
a new high-speed, switched fabric subsystem designed to connect
processor nodes and I/O nodes to form a system area network. This new
interconnect method transitions from a local transaction-based I/O
model across buses to a remote message-passing model across channels.
Scientific Linux 4.3 includes a technology preview
release of the upstream OpenIB.org InfiniBand network and clustering
software implementation.
Note that this technology preview release is not supported for use in
production environments, and that the OpenIB InfiniBand interfaces and
APIs are subject to change during the technology preview phase. Not
all of the InfiniBand upper layer protocols are implemented in the
current upstream OpenIB project. As more upper layer protocols are
implemented by the OpenIB group, a fully supported release of the
OpenIB InfiniBand network/clustering stack is planned.
InfiniBand technologies implemented via new or updated packages in
this preview are as follows:
o kernel -- Low level driver support for Mellanox based host
controllers are included. The core InfiniBand modules are also
included, which provide the interface between the low level
hardware driver and the upper layer InfiniBand protocol drivers
and also provide user space access to InfiniBand hardware. Also
included are the Sockets Direct Protocol (SDP) upper layer kernel
driver, the IP over InfiniBand (IPoIB) TCP/IP networking protocol
driver, and the SCSI Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) protocol
driver.
o udev - Minor modifications were made to know where to place the
new InfiniBand device files
o initscripts -- Added a new ifup-ib network script to enable using
IPoIB networking at boot time.
o module-init-tools -- Minor modifications were made to support the
new SDP socket protocol and IPoIB interfaces
o libibverbs -- A library that provides direct user space access to
the RDMA verbs capabilities of InfiniBand hardware. Developers
who want to program to the verbs interface can program to the
libibverbs API and, as new hardware support is added, their
application will require no modifications.
o libmthca -- A low level hardware driver library that plugs into
libibverbs and actually communicates with the hardware on behalf
of libibverbs. Support for future hardware will be implemented as
additional libraries.
o libsdp -- An LD_PRELOAD supported library that allows users to
cause their existing TCP/IP network applications to use SDP
instead without the need to recompile their application
o opensm -- The Open Subnet Manager. At least one machine in any
InfiniBand network must be running a subnet manager in order to
configure the low level hardware link routing. This is usually
left running as a system daemon to handle reconfiguration of the
subnet fabric on link status change events.
o udapl -- The User Direct Access Programming Library is a high
level user space RDMA programming environment. The uDAPL library
allows applications to take advantage of RDMA protocols without
having to be aware of how to program the RDMA capable hardware.
The uDAPL specification is not InfiniBand specific, and in the
future should support RDMA hardware other than InfiniBand, such
as RDMA enabled 10-Gigabit Ethernet controllers.
To use the udapl library, you must make sure that the libdat.so
file is in the path. This can accomplished by adding the
following line to the /etc/ld.so.conf file:
/usr/lib64/dat
Additionally, by default, the system parameters are set to allow
only a minimum amount of memory to be locked down by user-mode
applications, such as uDAPL. To increase this limit, you must
modify the parameters in /etc/security/limits.conf to increase
the amount of memory allowed for memlock.
For example, on a system with 1 gigabytes of memory, a system
administrator may allow 1 gigabyte to be locked down via memlock.
To allow this, the administrator would add the following in the
/etc/security/limits.conf file.
* hard memlock 1000000
* soft memlock 1000000
o There is a change in the behavior of /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net in
the sl-release package, such that user-customized versions of
these files are not moved to a new filename (/etc/issue.rpmsave and
/etc/issue.net.rpmsave, respectively) when sl-release is updated.
Because of the triggers that exist in previous sl-release RPMs,
the change in behavior will not take effect when the package is first
updated. What will happen is that the new /etc/issue and
/etc/issue.net files from the updated sl-release package will be
saved as they are on disk and any previously customized /etc/issue and
/etc/issue.net files will get moved to /etc/issue.rpmsave and
/etc/issue.net.rpmsave, respectively. Users must reapply their
customizations to these files one time. After reapplying their
customizations to the files, subsequent upgrades will update as
expected without such user intervention.
o Scientific Linux 4.3 supports a new feature to access
z/VM hypervisor commands (CP commands) using a new Linux kernel module
called vmcp.ko and a new tool called vmcp. This new feature allows
Linux guests to be managed running under z/VM out of a z/VM guest
running a Scientific Linux 4.3 image.
o DebugInfo packages provide full debugging symbol binaries for
individual package libraries so that system analysis tools and
profilers can fully debug and trace applications. DebugInfo packages
install these binaries in the directory /usr/lib/debuginfo.
With the -debuginfo RPMs installed, users are able to fully take
advantage of the following deep analysis tools:
o Program debugging with gdb
o kernel core dump debugging with crash
o performance analysis and profiling with systemtap and oprofile
DebugInfo packages for Scientific Linux 4x are available from
the Scientific Linux FTP site at the following URLs:
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/4x/archives/debuginfo/i386
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/4x/archives/debuginfo/x86_64
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/4x/archives/debuginfo/ia64
o Scientific Linux 4.3 includes a technology preview
release of Frysk, a new execution analysis framework. Users are
encouraged to find more information and provide feedback on the
technology preview at the Frysk project web site:
[3]
http://sources.redhat.com/frysk/
Note that this technology preview release of Frysk is not supported
for use in production environments, and that Frysk interfaces and APIs
are subject to change during the technology preview phase. A fully
supported release of Frysk is planned for future releases of
Scientific Linux.
Kernel Notes
This section contains notes relating to the Scientific Linux 4.3 kernel.
o Scientific Linux 4.3 includes the largesmp kernel
package for 64-bit platforms. In order to preserve the kernel
application binary interface (kabi) in current supported kernels,
Scientific Linux introduces a new kernel package called
kernel-largesmp-2.6.9-xxx.EL.yyy.rpm.
xxx specifies the kernel version, while yyy specifies the platform
name, which is one of the following 3 platforms: x86_64, ia64, ppc64.
The largesmp kernel on AMD64 and Intel(R) EM64T platforms increases
support of CPUs from 8 to 64.
With successful partner collaboration and testing of the largesmp
kernel in Scientific Linux 4.3, the supported and
certifiable CPU limits for AMD64/EM64T, Itanium2, and POWER will
increase in future releases.
o The largesmp kernels introduced in Scientific Linux 4.3
support up to 128GB of memory.
o Files and directories have permission sets for the owner of the file,
the group associated with the file, and all other users for the
system. However, these permission sets have limitations. For example,
different permissions cannot be configured for different users. To
address this need, Access Control Lists (ACLs) were implemented.
The Scientific Linux 4.3 kernel provides ACL support
for the ext3 file system and NFS file systems. ACLs are now recognized
on ext3 file systems accessed via Samba.
Along with support in the kernel, the acl package is required to
implement ACLs. The acl package contains the utilities used to add,
modify, remove, and retrieve ACL information.
o Scientific Linux 4.3 adds error detection and
correction (EDAC) functionality for x86 and x86_64 systems. The
kernel, on supported chipsets, can now detect and report ECC single
bit errors, and report and panic on multi-bit errors.
The behavior of the kernel is controlled by
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_unrecovered_nmi; and the default value is
set to "1". If an unrecoverable ECC error or unknown non-maskable
interrupt (NMI) is detected and the value of
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_unrecovered_nmi is set to "1", then the
kernel will panic and halt the system. This is the default behavior.
The hardware autodetect program automatically detects and loads the
appropriate EDAC kernel modules during installation or upgrade. Upon
successful loading of the modules, some kernel messages will be saved
in the message log file.
While EDAC kernel modules are loaded, the kernel provides control
interfaces to perform debugging and logging at run-time via
/proc/sys/mc and directory assistance via the /proc/mc directory.
If the EDAC kernel modules are loaded, then the kernel provides
control interfaces to perform debugging and logging at run-time via
/proc/sys/mc and directory assistance via the /proc/mc directory.
The EDAC code in Scientific Linux 4x and the code it is based
on provide statistics via /proc. As part of the merger and acceptance
of this code into the base kernel, this interface will change to use
sysfs. Customers should expect future Scientific Linux releases
to adopt the sysfs interface instead.
o Kernel Key Management support was a new feature included in
Scientific Linux 4.2. However, due to on-going development
efforts, be advised that Kernel Key Management is a technology preview
and that the key management interfaces can and will undergo further
development in subsequent Scientific Linux 4x updates. Because
Kernel Key Management is a technology preview, it is not supported for
production environments.
Changes to Drivers and Hardware Support
This update includes bug fixes for a number of drivers. The more
significant driver updates are listed below.
o The following device drivers are added or updated in
Scientific Linux 4.3:
o added support for Marvell Yukon 2 chipset in sky2 driver
o added support for SysKonnect's SK-9E21, SK-9S21 chipset in sky2
driver
o added support for LSI Logic MegaRAID Serial Attached SCSI
(megaraid_sas) driver
o incorporated Broadcom NetXtreme II (bnx2) network driver with
support for BCM5706 and BCM5708
o added support for HT1000 chipset in serverworks driver
o added support for HT2000 chipset in serverworks driver
o updated Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel (lpfc) driver
o updated Intel(R) PRO/1000 (e1000) networking driver
o updated HP Smart Array (cciss) driver
o updated LSI Logic MPT Fusion driver
o updated QLogic Fibre Channel (qla2xxx) driver
o updated Adaptec RAID (aacraid) driver
o updated Broadcom Tigon 3 (tg3) network driver
o various SATA driver updates
o The SysKonnect Yukon II (sky2) driver is now available in
Scientific Linux 4.3. It only supports hardware that is not
supported by the sk98lin driver in Scientific Linux 4.3.
Note that the current version of the sky2 driver is known to
perform poorly if autonegotiation is disabled.
o Support for fabric rediscovery through sysfs is now available in
Scientific Linux 4.3. For the Qlogic (qla2xxx) and Emulex
(lpfc) Fibre Channel HBA drivers, run the following commands to
perform redisocvery and rescan for new storage:
echo "1" > /sys/class/fc_host/hostXYZ/issue_lip
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostXYZ/scan
Where XYZ is the scsi host number of your HBA.
o The Scientific Linux 4x release notes mentioned several issues
related to the Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel driver (lpfc). All of
these issues (related to cable pulls, rmmod and insmod) were fixed in
Scientific Linux 4.1. The lpfc driver was included in
the upstream Linux 2.6 kernel shortly after Scientific Linux 4.0
shipped. Scientific Linux fully supports the lpfc driver, and is committed to
maintaining the driver as long as Scientific Linux 4x is
supported.
o In some Fibre Channel configurations, an operating system will
automatically detect the addition of a new target device while the
system is running. In other configurations, it is necessary to issue
the following command to detect a new target device:
echo 1 > /sys/class/fc_host/hostn/issue_lip
Where hostn corresponds to the appropriate adapter.
When a new Logical Unit is created on a particular target, a command
such as the following is required to detect and configure it:
echo "b t l" > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostn/scan
Where b is the bus, t is the target, and l is the LUN to be scanned on
hostn.
Wild cards can also be used, such as the following example:
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan
Note that the device name (such as /dev/sdb) that is assigned when a
device is added dynamically while the system is running may be
different from the device name assigned the next time the system
boots.
o Scientific Linux 4.3 includes support for scanning past
LUN 0 when a target returns a peripheral qualifier of 3 for LUN 0. For
SCSI 3 and higher devices, the scsi layer will attempt a REPORT_LUNS
command, and for SCSI 2 devices the scsi layer will perform a
sequential scan for LUNs 1 to 7.
To modify the scanning behavior, users can add entries to the scsi
device_info table through the procfs interface located at
/proc/scsi/device_info or through the scsi_mod module parameters. The
format for the entry is dev_flags=vendor:model:flags[,v:m:f] where
flags can be the following integer values:
0x001 /* Only scan LUN 0 */
0x002 /* Known to have LUNs, force scanning, deprecated: Use max_luns=N */
0x004 /* Flag for broken handshaking */
0x008 /* unlock by special command */
0x010 /* Do not use LUNs in parallel */
0x020 /* Buggy Tagged Command Queuing */
0x040 /* Non consecutive LUN numbering */
0x080 /* Avoid LUNS >= 5 */
0x100 /* Treat as (removable) CD-ROM */
0x200 /* LUNs past 7 on a SCSI-2 device */
0x400 /* override additional length field */
0x800 /* ... for broken inquiry responses */
0x1000 /* do not do automatic start on add */
0x2000 /* do not send ms page 0x08 */
0x4000 /* do not send ms page 0x3f */
0x8000 /* use 10 byte ms before 6 byte ms */
0x10000 /* 192 byte ms page 0x3f request */
0x20000 /* try REPORT_LUNS even for SCSI-2 devs (if HBA supports more than 8 LUNs) */
0x40000 /* don't try REPORT_LUNS scan (SCSI-3 devs) */
0x80000 /* don't use PREVENT-ALLOW commands */
0x100000 /* device is actually for RAID config */
0x200000 /* select without ATN */
0x400000 /* retry HARDWARE_ERROR */
For example, to scan past LUN 7 for a SCSI 2 device from vendor Linux
with model scsi_debug, execute the following command:
echo Linux:scsi_debug:200 > /proc/scsi/device_info
or
modprobe scsi_mod dev_flags=Linux:scsi_debug:200
The module parameter can also be added to /etc/modprobe.conf so that
it can be used at system boot-up:
options scsi_mod dev_flags=Linux:scsi_debug:200
