180 For executing the ziomon tools an installed blktrace package is required.
181 See: git://git.kernel.dk/blktrace.git
183 Release History:
184 ================
185 1.8.4
186 Added new tools:
187 - 60-readahead.rules: udev rules to set increased "default max readahead"
188 The current "default max readahead" defined by the kernel is too
189 small for s390. Add udev rule to set a better default value. This
190 will increase sequential read performance up to 40%.
192 Changes of existing tools:
193 - zipl: Improve I/O error recovery during IPL
194 Change the boot loader code to handle temporary path errors and link
195 flapping during IPL.
197 - zipl: Remove DEFAULT_RAMDISK_ADDRESS
198 Using the default value has been replaced by calculating the address
199 dependent on the image size.
201 - lsqeth: Introduce "lay'2" column for "lsqeth -p"
202 Add new qeth attribute "isolation".
204 - qethconf: Indicate command failure and show message list
205 When qethconf detects a bad exit status of its issued echo
206 command, an error message is presented to the user.
207 In addition possible reasons for command failure can be
208 listed with "qethconf list_msg".
210 - dumpconf: Prevent reipl loop for dump on panic
211 A new DELAY_MINUTES keyword is introduced in the dumpconf
212 configuration file. The keyword delays the activation of dumpconf to
213 prevent potential re-IPL loops.
215 - dbginfo: Add new attributes
217 Bug Fixes:
218 - cpuplugd: Fix file handling in get_cmmpages_size()
220 - fdasd, dasdinfo, tunedasd: Fix handling of read-only devices
221 A as long as a tool does not require write access do a block device,
222 it should open the device in read-only mode. Otherwise opening the
223 device may fail, and usability of the tool on read-only devices is
224 unnecessarily restricted.
226 - fdasd: Fix auto mode behavior
227 Fix the misbehavior of fdasd in case the -a or -i option is specified
228 and the label block is broken. Previously it asked interactively for
229 a new label. Now it exits with an error message.
231 - dasdview, fdasd: Fix floating point error for unformatted devices
232 When executed on an unformatted device the tools dasdview and fdasd
233 will end with an floating point exception error.
234 The reason for the error lies in the fact that we cannot rely on the
235 HDIO_GETGEO ioctl to report a correct number of cylinders and so we
236 compute the number of cylinders from the device size. However,
237 for unformatted devices the device size is zero and thus our
238 computation ends with a floating point exception.
239 To solve this issue read the correct number of cylinders from
240 the DASD device characteristics, which can be found in the data
241 returned by the BIODASDINFO ioctl.
243 - libvtoc: Fix string overflow in vtoc_volume_label_init()
244 Originally it tries to copy a 84B string into 4B field and reset also
245 the other fields through the overflow. This doesn't work with recent
246 GCC versions.
248 - mon_statd: Improve init script
249 * stop: Do not print error messages if a daemon is not configured.
250 * start: Do not load module if no daemon is configured.
251 * Remove useless newlines.
253 - lscss: Fix uppercase conversion (appeared with -u option)
255 - lstape: Help function returns 1, although it was successful
256 Changed exit status of "lstape --help" from 1 to 0.
258 - znetconf: Index into chpidtype lookup table must be hex
259 Network subchannels with CHPID type containing non-decimal digits,
260 i.e. a-f, cause lsznet.raw errors. The value of the sysfs attribute
261 "type" of a CHPID is hex, but the lookup table index in the bash
262 script must be decimal. To solve the problem, we now
263 interpret "type" as hex number when used as lookup table index.
265 - chreipl: Fix SIGSEGV in "chreipl node"
266 When calling "chreipl node /dev/dasdxy" chreipl crashes with SIGSEGV.
267 The problem is a missing check in get_ccw_devno_old_sysfs(). Besides
268 of that at two places strncpy() was called with the wrong size.
270 - chshut: Disable panic action
271 The panic action should be configured using the dumpconf service.
272 Therefore we disable the possibility to configure it with chshut in
273 order to avoid conflicts.
275 - lsreipl: Add missing NSS support
277 - vmconvert: Ensure null termination of progress bar string
278 The progress bar shows control characters at end of line, because
279 one variable responsible for the progress bar has not been
280 initialized. We now initialize this variable correctly.
282 - vmconvert, zfcpdump_v2: Set correct LKCD end marker flag
284 - zfcpdump_v2: Ignore failure of modprobe
285 It is possible that all modules are built-in the zfcpdump kernel.
286 Therefore modprobe of those modules will fail and we must not
287 check the return value.
289 - ziomon: ziorep_traffic/utilization return 1 when called with -h & -v
290 These two tools return 1 when -h or -v are used as arguments. Changed
291 the return code in these cases to 0.
293 - zipl: zfcp dump partition error
294 The info structure was used after it was freed. This leads to wrong
295 partition information on the zfcp dump device. Therefore SCSI
296 dumps may fail. To fix this, we free the info structure after last
297 usage.
299 1.8.3
300 Changes of existing tools:
301 - zipl: Add support for device mapper devices.
302 Allow installation of and booting from a boot record on logical
303 devices, i.e. devices managed by device mapper (or similar products),
304 e.g. multipath devices.
306 1.8.2
307 Added new tools:
308 - znetconf
309 - cio_ignore
311 Changes of existing tools:
312 - dasdview: Add solid state device support.
313 Extend the -c option to show if a disk is a solid state device or not.
315 - lscss: Also show devices on the defunct subchannel.
317 - all: Reworked s390-tools build process.
319 Bug Fixes:
320 - dumpconf: Validate DEVICE keyword, enhance error handling.
321 The DEVICE keyword is accepted in both devno and bus-ID syntax.
322 In case of invalid keywords the corresponding error messages are more
323 precise.
325 - zipl: Ensure that zipl is built with non-executable stack.
326 The ".note.GNU-stack" section is lost when the boot loaders in zipl
327 are built. The reason is that objcopy removes all sections except
328 of the text section: $(OBJCOPY) -O binary --only-section=.text $< $@
329 When the linker finds a object file without the .note.GNU-stack
330 section, it forces the binary to have executable stack.
331 To fix the problem, the noexecstack option is used in the link step.
333 - zipl: "zipl --help" does not mention "--force".
334 Add information on the "--force" option introduced together with
335 "--mvdump".
337 - zipl: Don't use "Error" if user answered zipl confirmation prompt with no
338 For several operations zipl issues a confirmation prompt such as
339 "Do you want to continue creating a dump partition (y/n)".
340 If the user disagrees, there should be no error indication in the
341 "Operation canceled by user." message.
343 - zipl:
344 * Exit when trying to run zipl on an unknown device type.
345 * Skip check for invalid geometry on FBA devices.
346 * Fix use after free error when installing a multi-volume dump.
348 - vmur, ziomon tools: Install tools under "/usr/sbin" instead of "/sbin".
349 Because vmur and ziomon use libstdc++ that normally is installed under
350 "/usr/lib", we have to install the tools under "/usr/sbin".
352 - cpuplugd: Fix cmm_pages allocation.
353 Fix cmm_pages allocation outside min and max limitation.
355 - dasdinfo:
356 * Strip trailing spaces from volume serials with less then 6
357 characters.
358 * Read volume serials also from CMS formatted disks.
360 - lsluns:
361 Fixed disk encryption check that is performed when the new "--active"
362 command line switch is used.
364 - zfcpdbf:
365 * Fix reading of recovery trace.
366 * Fix tag checks in reading of hba trace.
367 * Fix output of els requests in san trace.
368 * Remove color output that only works on some terminal types.
369 * Remove output of no longer existing driver flags.
370 * Remove outdated code for support of 2.4.x kernels.
372 - ipl_tools (lsshut):
373 Fix printing of vmcmd shutdown action: Also print CP commands that
374 have more than one word.
376 - all:
377 Fixed a lot of build warnings and minor bugs.
379 1.8.1
380 Added new tools:
381 - iucvterm
383 Changes of existing tools:
384 - dump tools: Add support for "Automatic IPL after dump"
385 Kernels supporting the new shutdown action "dump_reipl" allow to
386 specify a re-IPL device that should be used after dump. To
387 exploit this feature the following tools have been updated:
388 - zipl dump tools:
389 Trigger IPL after dump, if specified.
390 - zfcpdump:
391 Trigger IPL after dump, if specified.
392 - dumpconf:
393 Allow to specify "dump_reipl" in case a kernel panic occurs.
395 - DASD related tools: Add Large Volume Support for ECKD DASDs
396 The DASD device driver with "Large Volume Support" allows to access
397 ECKD DASD devices with more than 65520 cylinders. To exploit this
398 feature the following tools have been updated:
399 - dasdfmt
400 - fdasd
401 - dasdview
402 - zipl
403 - zipl dump tools
405 - ziomon: Add report utilities
406 New tools ziorep_config, ziorep_traffic and ziorep_utilization
407 for performance data report generation are added.
409 - vmur: Add "--convert" option
410 With this option a VMDUMP file can be converted into the LKCD dump
411 format while receiving it from the z/VM reader. LKCD dumps
412 can be processed by the Linux dump analysis tools lcrash and crash.
414 - lsluns: Add "--active" option
415 With this option all activated LUNs are shown. In addition LUN
416 encryption information is provided.
418 - dasdview: Add "--characteristic" option
419 With this option a list of hardware specific DASD characteristics is
420 shown. Currently only the encryption status is shown, this may
421 be extended for future releases.
423 - tunedasd: Normalize profile data
424 Change the scaling of DASD profile data from binary to decimal
425 shifting. Also print the scaling factor.
427 - qetharp, qethconf, osasnmpd and lsqeth:
428 removed 2.4 supporting code
430 - dasdfmt: Add "--norecordzero" option
431 With this option the permission for the subsystem to format record
432 zero is removed.
434 - dasdfmt: Add "--percentage" option
435 With this option one line for each formatted cylinder is printed
436 showing the number of the cylinder and percentage of formatting
437 process.
439 Bug Fixes:
440 - zipl dump tools:
441 The 31-bit dump tools did not update the address portion of the
442 disabled wait psw with the error code. This omission has been fixed.
444 - zipl dump tools:
445 FBA dump tool can only dump up to 4GB. When dumping a Linux system
446 with more than 4GB on a FBA disk, a corrupt dump is generated, where
447 the first 4GB of memory are repeatedly dumped. The problem is that
448 the dumper code uses two 32 bit instructions, where 64 bit
449 instructions are required. To fix the problem 64 bit instructions are
450 used now.
452 - Remove -s option from install sections in Makefiles
453 Because the binaries have been stripped in the install step, the
454 debug info was not available for rpmbuild. Therefore the -s option
455 has been removed now.
457 - Improve LSB (Linux Standard Base) compliance of init scripts
459 - tape390_display:
460 The command "tape390_display <message1> <message2> <node>" can cause
461 message "stack smashing detected" if <message2> contains exactly
462 eight characters. This stack overwrite has been fixed.
464 - lscss:
465 Don't print newline for availability attributes containing blanks.
467 - chccwdev:
468 Suppress bash error message, if device is gone between test and
469 read of online attribute. Exit with error if no device was found
470 in a given range.
472 - chccwdev, lscss, lstape:
473 Add missing "-v" and "-V" (lstape) options.
475 - chchp:
476 Improve value checking.
478 - dasdinfo:
479 Fix handling of new sysfs layout. Due to changes in the sysfs
480 dasdinfo did not find a block device to a given busid. Changed
481 dasdinfo to accept the new and the old sysfs layout.
483 1.8.0
484 Added new tools:
485 - ipl_tools (lsreipl, chreipl, lsshut, chshut)
486 - ziomon tools
487 - lszcrypt
488 - chzcrypt
489 - lsluns
491 Changes of existing tools:
492 - zfcpdump_v2: Add support for memory holes
493 zfcpdump was not prepared to deal with multiple, non-contiguous
494 storage extents. This shortcoming has been fixed by introducing
495 a new debugfs file zcore/memmap which contains information on
496 start address and length of memory chunks.
498 - zfcpdump_v2: Update to latest e2fsprogs (1.41.3) and kernel (2.6.27)
499 versions.
501 - zipl: Support for virtio devices
502 This feature allows zipl to prepare virtio devices for ipl and dump.
504 - zipl dump tools: Add multi volume support
505 This feature adds the ability to dump on multiple ECKD DASD devices,
506 which can be necessary, if the system memory size is larger than
507 the size of a single DASD device.
509 - lscss: Support for non I/O subchannels
510 lscss now shows non I/O subchannels. New options to limit the output
511 to ranges of subchannels or devices have been added.
513 - lstape: Add SCSI tape support
514 With this feature it is now possible to list installed SCSI tapes
515 besides channel attached tapes.
517 - ip_watcher: New qeth driver support
518 Adapt ip_watcher to support sysfs interface of the qeth driver.
519 This is necessary to support the new implementation of the qeth driver
520 (kernel 2.6.26).
522 - osasnmpd: New qeth driver support
523 Adapt osasnmpd to new implementation of qeth driver (kernel 2.6.26),
524 which does no longer offer the sysfs attribute notifier_register.
525 Notification of added or removed OSA-cards now has to be done in
526 user space (udev). The udev rule file '57-osasnmpd.rules' is
527 provided now in the s390-tools package.
529 - dbginfo.sh:
530 Collect additional system information.
532 Bug Fixes:
533 - zipl dump tools:
534 The tape dump tool provided incorrect input for the progress message.
535 For memory sizes larger than 4G the progress message display stopped
536 at 3584M thus leaving the user in doubt, whether the dump tool is
537 still dumping or not.
539 - zfcpdump_v2:
540 With kernels 2.6.26 or above, the port_add attribute has been
541 removed which caused "Dump to SCSI disk" to fail with following
542 message:
543 ERROR: Could not open /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/<bus_id>/port_add
544 No such file or directory
545 This has now been fixed.
547 - lsdasd:
548 - correct presentation of DASD HPAV alias devices
549 - improve performance of script
550 - correct bug with non-privileged users
551 - adaption to sysfs rules
552 - improve usability
554 - cpuplugd/mon_statd:
555 Fix "Required Start/Stop" dependencies.
557 - cpuplugd:
558 A bug which prevented CPUs from being set online again after
559 /etc/init.d/cpuplugd reload and restart has been fixed.
561 1.7.0:
562 Changes of existing tools:
563 - zipl: IPL-retry on IFCC.
564 This feature causes the hardware to retry a CCW IPL operation on an
565 alternate channel-path if an interface-control check is detected
566 during execution of the CCW IPL operation.
568 - zipl: Boot menu can be used to replace kernel parameter string
569 zipl's boot menu for DASD devices has been changed to allow replacing
570 the complete kernel parameter string with user input when the first
571 character of user input is an equal sign ('=').
573 - cpuplugd: Enhanced configuration file parser
574 The parser of cpuplugd has been enhanced to provide more hints to
575 the user at which entry in the configuration file a configuration
576 error occurred.
578 - dumpconf: Add VMCMD support
579 The dumpconf init script now exploits the new "shutdown actions
580 interface" introduced with vanilla Linux kernel 2.6.25. Up to
581 five VM commands can be specified to be triggered in case of
582 a kernel panic.
584 - mon_fsstatd: Remove init script and sysconfig file
585 mon_fsstatd init script and sysconfig file are replaced by
586 mon_statd, which controls both monitor daemons mon_fsstatd and
587 mon_procd.
589 - lszfcp: Source code cleanup
591 1.6.3:
592 Added new tool:
593 - cpuplugd
595 Changes of existing tools:
596 - dasdinfo: New -x/--extended-uid option.
597 With the PTF for APAR VM64273 installed, z/VM provides a unique
598 identifier that allows to distinguish between virtual disks which
599 are defined on the same real device. This identifier will be part
600 of the UID. To allow for an easier upgrade, the original -u/--uid
601 option will print the UID without this token and the
602 -x/--extended-uid will return the full UID.
604 1.6.2:
605 Added new tools:
606 - vmur
607 - lschp
608 - chchp
609 - zfcpdump_v2
610 - mon_procd (with new mon_statd init script and sysconfig file)
612 Changes of existing tools:

622 - 59-dasd.rules
624 Changes of existing tools:
625 - DASD/Tape dump tools:

628 - zgetdump:
629 New -d option to check if DASD is a valid dump device.
631 - No more XML in zfcpdump:
632 Because XML is going to be obsolete, we now use the binary parameter

634 should be created.
636 - dbginfo.sh:
637 Collect additional system information.
639 - No libsysfs in DASD tools:

646 for all tools.

675 Replaced the old Linux 2.4.19 kernel with Linux 2.6.12 and
676 e2fsprogs version 1.32 with version 1.37.
677 The busybox will be removed completely, since the functionality
