2017-08-21 11:18:48 Tymoteusz Kielan description This is about ability to PXE boot over Intel Fabric. Netboot initrd is missing infiniband kernel module stack along with hfi1.ko (for 1st generation of Intel Omni-Path cards). In addition some of firmware files required to load modules are also missing in initrd. This firmware came from existing linux-firmware package, but is not included in netboot initrd image. I wanted to request such feature for upcoming LTS release. This is about ability to PXE boot over Intel Fabric.

In addition some firmware files required to load modules are also missing in initrd. This firmware came from existing linux-firmware package, but is not included in netboot initrd image. 1. Feature Overview: a) Name of feature: Add Intel Omni-Path Architecture (OPA) Firmware to initrd.gz b) Feature Description: The initrd.gz supplied on Ubuntu 17.04 is missing the following firmware listed below in the /lib/firmware directory. As a result, PXE boot over fabric fails. hfi1_dc8051.fw hfi1_fabric.fw hfi1_pcie.fw hfi1_sbus.fw These firmware binaries can be found in the standard Ubuntu distro or linux-firmware 2. Feature Details: a) Architectures: 64-bit Intel EM64T/AMD64 b) Drivers or hardware dependencies: Omni-Path HFI, HFI driver c) Upstream acceptance information: Part of linux-firmware d) Severity (H,M,L): High e) Feature Needed by: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 3. Business Justification: a) Why is this feature needed? The firmware is required for the HFI card for Omni-Path Architecture. b) What hardware does this enable? Omni-Path HFI c) Is this hardware on-board in a system (eg, LOM) or an add-on card? PCIe card d) Business impact? Required for Omni-Path
