Jian

Can you please investigate what will be required to support RHEL 7.8?

Thanks

Peterr

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8 is distributed with the kernel version 3.10.0-1127.

Comment by Jian Yu [ 10/Mar/20 ]

Just installed a VM node for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.8 Beta (Maipo). The default kernel version is 3.10.0-1101.

Lustre client build passed on my local RHEL 7.8 vm by running lbuild. I'm working on server support.

Looks like it was released today.  Yesterday the release notes were at "7_beta" and now they're at "7"

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/7.8_release_notes/index

... or is about to be.  I see some pages still say Beta:

Thank you Olaf for the update. The images for RHEL 7.8 are available now.

Comment by Jian Yu [ 31/Mar/20 ]

I'll update the patches with the new kernel version.

> I'll update the patches with the new kernel version.

Thanks!

Comment by Jian Yu [ 02/Apr/20 ]

The client support patch has been updated and verified. I'm updating the server support patch.

Comment by Jian Yu [ 04/Apr/20 ]

The server patch was also updated and passed building on my local vm node.

Comment by Olaf Faaland [ 05/Apr/20 ]

Thank you Jian. What is the timetable for getting Jenkins/Maloo/etc. set up for testing? Do you have any sense of how difficult the backports will be?

Comment by Jian Yu [ 06/Apr/20 ]

You're welcome, Olaf.
Jenkins and autotest have already worked on RHEL 7.8 client support. For server support, I think Minh will resolve the rpm issue soon.
It's easy to back-port the client support patch. For server support patch, I need to look more.

Hi, any progress on getting the build/test setup working for RHEL 7.8? Thanks!

Hi Olaf,
The patches for master branch are ready to land. Minh is working on getting build and testing enabled on Lustre b2_12 and b2_10 branches.

Landed for 2.14

Comment by Olaf Faaland [ 14/Apr/20 ]

Hi Jian,
I see the b2_12 patches have all passed testing and have +2 reviews. We are just waiting for those patches to get into b2_12 next and go through the additional test cycle, correct?

I see just the 3 - the two from this ticket for "server support" and "new kernel", and the backport of the gss "readers changed to writers" one. If I missed anything please let me know.

Thanks!

Comment by Jian Yu [ 14/Apr/20 ]

Yes, Olaf, there are 3 patches for Lustre b2_12 branch to support RHEL 7.8. All of them are ready now to land to Lustre b2_12 branch.
