This bug reported looks similar to
Bug 191386 - [Regression] RHEL8.3 zstream - drmgr command failing (DLPAR) (powerpc-utils?)
which was due to older version of drmgr having been bundled in the pvm-core package rather than using the provided 1.3.6 version that came with RHEL.
Here on the Ubuntu 20.04LTS we have the same binary for drmgr...
neo@novap9zz:~$ whereis drmgr
drmgr: /usr/sbin/drmgr /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
neo@novap9zz:~$ md5sum /usr/sbin/drmgr /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
c7863c699a2761567ae9d9b75dcc7854 /usr/sbin/drmgr
c7863c699a2761567ae9d9b75dcc7854 /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
yet according to the list of packages installed, is based on a fairly older version of powerpc-utils-1.3.4-0ubuntu2 which is still the latest available for 20.04 LTS. Current versions of Ubuntu provide version 1.3.10-2
Assigning to Nathan to review and see which changes might be missing in order to resolve this. I'll also attach a sosreport collected from the LPAR...

The issues mentioned here is after using default drmgr provided by OS.
Yes we saw similar issues and fix has been provided for RHEL, which If i am not wrong was with socat as well.

Any update ?

Any update? We are seeing this issue in customer env also. Customer is looking for update.

I can't figure out what's wrong with my current permissions.
Is there a root password for that NovaLink partition? That would help me look at what the utilities are doing under the hood.

The powerpc-utils metapackage pulls in the appropriate tools for each
Debian PowerPC port.
I see that 22.04 ("Jammy Jellyfish") packages powerpc-utils 1.3.9, but that 20.04 (Focal Fossa) is still packaging 1.3.4.
Is there a protocol for advancing the packaged version in upstream for a given release?

To be perfectly clear: powerpc-utils 1.3.4 was tagged Sep 1 2017:
https://github.com/ibm-power-utilities/powerpc-utils/commit/2e26d2996789a1e61dd0a872f579dc5768128836
I suspect many bugs have been fixed in the interim.

What do you mean by "plan"?
The problem is that the distribution is packaging an ancient release of powerpc-utils. They need to package a newer release.
Who on the NovaLink team is responsible for coordinating dependencies with Ubuntu packaging? That person needs to reach out to the person on the Ubuntu side responsible for packaging powerpc-utils and ask them to package powerpc-utils 1.3.9, if not 1.3.10, as they do for all later OS releases.

Alternatively, you could upgrade the release to 22.04.2, which packages a newer release of powerpc-utils.

Mirroring to Launchpad to bring the package maintainers into the loop. |
SRU for Focal
[ Impact ]
* Customers using Focal are hitting several issues with drmgr command.
* drmgr command cannot add or remove a vty-server (server vterm device) slot - it fails finding an existent slot.
* Open terminal for a LPAR and hit ctrl+c - closes the terminal
* ctrl+] doesn't kill the terminal as expected.
[ Test Plan ]
* running the script provided by IBM (original bug description at `---Steps to Reproduce---`) - adjusting to your devices
[ Where problems could occur ]
* commit 60d9f54 introduces moficifations in drmgr's hotplugging,
hence in case of issues with these modifications, hotpluging could be harmed or even broken.
* commit b0586b5 changes internal structures for parsing new DRC info,
so things could go wrong in case the parsing has issues, or the storage in the data structure is not done properly.
Issues here could in worst case lead to unforseen problems, but this code is now upstream like several years.
* Package is ppc64el architecture only.
[other]
* The commits are upstream with v1.3.8 (and newer), so we only need to add them on Focal. ___________________________________________________________________________

---Problem Description---
1. drmgr command fails as it doesn't find a slot
2. drmgr throws error while removing the slot
3. ctrl+c closes the terminal opened for any vm
4. ctrl+] doesn't close the terminal. But comes out with an extra 'Enter'

This bug reported looks similar to
Bug 191386 - [Regression] RHEL8.3 zstream - drmgr command failing (DLPAR) (powerpc-utils?)
which was due to older version of drmgr having been bundled in the pvm-core package rather than using the provided 1.3.6 version that came with RHEL.
Here on the Ubuntu 20.04LTS we have the same binary for drmgr...
neo@novap9zz:~$ whereis drmgr
drmgr: /usr/sbin/drmgr /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
neo@novap9zz:~$ md5sum /usr/sbin/drmgr /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
c7863c699a2761567ae9d9b75dcc7854 /usr/sbin/drmgr
c7863c699a2761567ae9d9b75dcc7854 /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
yet according to the list of packages installed, is based on a fairly older version of powerpc-utils-1.3.4-0ubuntu2 which is still the latest available for 20.04 LTS. Current versions of Ubuntu provide version 1.3.10-2
Assigning to Nathan to review and see which changes might be missing in order to resolve this. I'll also attach a sosreport collected from the LPAR...

I can't figure out what's wrong with my current permissions.
Is there a root password for that NovaLink partition? That would help me look at what the utilities are doing under the hood.

I see that 22.04 ("Jammy Jellyfish") packages powerpc-utils 1.3.9, but that 20.04 (Focal Fossa) is still packaging 1.3.4.
Is there a protocol for advancing the packaged version in upstream for a given release?

To be perfectly clear: powerpc-utils 1.3.4 was tagged Sep 1 2017:
https://github.com/ibm-power-utilities/powerpc-utils/commit/2e26d2996789a1e61dd0a872f579dc5768128836
I suspect many bugs have been fixed in the interim.

What do you mean by "plan"?
The problem is that the distribution is packaging an ancient release of powerpc-utils. They need to package a newer release.
Who on the NovaLink team is responsible for coordinating dependencies with Ubuntu packaging? That person needs to reach out to the person on the Ubuntu side responsible for packaging powerpc-utils and ask them to package powerpc-utils 1.3.9, if not 1.3.10, as they do for all later OS releases.

Alternatively, you could upgrade the release to 22.04.2, which packages a newer release of powerpc-utils.

SRU for Focal
[ Impact ]
* Customers using Focal are hitting several issues with drmgr command.
* drmgr command cannot add or remove a vty-server (server vterm device) slot - it fails finding an existent slot.
* Open terminal for a LPAR and hit ctrl+c - closes the terminal
* ctrl+] doesn't kill the terminal as expected.
[ Test Plan ]
* running the script provided by IBM (original bug description at `---Steps to Reproduce---`) - adjusting to your devices
[ Where problems could occur ]
* commit 60d9f54 introduces moficifations in drmgr's hotplugging,
hence in case of issues with these modifications, hotpluging could be harmed or even broken.
* commit b0586b5 changes internal structures for parsing new DRC info,
so things could go wrong in case the parsing has issues, or the storage in the data structure is not done properly.
Issues here could in worst case lead to unforseen problems, but this code is now upstream like several years.
* Package is ppc64el architecture only.
[other]
* The commits are upstream with v1.3.8 (and newer), so we only need to add them on Focal. ___________________________________________________________________________

This bug reported looks similar to
Bug 191386 - [Regression] RHEL8.3 zstream - drmgr command failing (DLPAR) (powerpc-utils?)
which was due to older version of drmgr having been bundled in the pvm-core package rather than using the provided 1.3.6 version that came with RHEL.
Here on the Ubuntu 20.04LTS we have the same binary for drmgr...
neo@novap9zz:~$ whereis drmgr
drmgr: /usr/sbin/drmgr /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
neo@novap9zz:~$ md5sum /usr/sbin/drmgr /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
c7863c699a2761567ae9d9b75dcc7854 /usr/sbin/drmgr
c7863c699a2761567ae9d9b75dcc7854 /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
yet according to the list of packages installed, is based on a fairly older version of powerpc-utils-1.3.4-0ubuntu2 which is still the latest available for 20.04 LTS. Current versions of Ubuntu provide version 1.3.10-2
Assigning to Nathan to review and see which changes might be missing in order to resolve this. I'll also attach a sosreport collected from the LPAR...

I can't figure out what's wrong with my current permissions.
Is there a root password for that NovaLink partition? That would help me look at what the utilities are doing under the hood.

I see that 22.04 ("Jammy Jellyfish") packages powerpc-utils 1.3.9, but that 20.04 (Focal Fossa) is still packaging 1.3.4.
Is there a protocol for advancing the packaged version in upstream for a given release?

To be perfectly clear: powerpc-utils 1.3.4 was tagged Sep 1 2017:
https://github.com/ibm-power-utilities/powerpc-utils/commit/2e26d2996789a1e61dd0a872f579dc5768128836
I suspect many bugs have been fixed in the interim.

What do you mean by "plan"?
The problem is that the distribution is packaging an ancient release of powerpc-utils. They need to package a newer release.
Who on the NovaLink team is responsible for coordinating dependencies with Ubuntu packaging? That person needs to reach out to the person on the Ubuntu side responsible for packaging powerpc-utils and ask them to package powerpc-utils 1.3.9, if not 1.3.10, as they do for all later OS releases.

Alternatively, you could upgrade the release to 22.04.2, which packages a newer release of powerpc-utils.

Mirroring to Launchpad to bring the package maintainers into the loop. |
SRU for Focal
[ Impact ]
* Customers using Focal are hitting several issues with drmgr command.
* drmgr command cannot add or remove a vty-server (server vterm device) slot - it fails finding an existent slot.
* Open terminal for a LPAR and hit ctrl+c - closes the terminal
* ctrl+] doesn't kill the terminal as expected.
[ Test Plan ]
* running the script provided by IBM (original bug description at `---Steps to Reproduce---`) - adjusting to your devices
[ Where problems could occur ]
* commit 60d9f54 introduces modifications in drmgr's hotplugging,
hence in case of issues with these modifications, hotplugging could be harmed or even broken.
* commit b0586b5 changes internal structures for parsing new DRC info,
so things could go wrong in case the parsing has issues, or the storage in the data structure is not done properly.
Issues here could in worst case lead to unforeseen problems, but this code is now upstream like several years.
* Package is ppc64el architecture only.
[other]
* The commits are upstream with v1.3.8 (and newer), so we only need to add them on Focal. ___________________________________________________________________________

---Problem Description---
1. drmgr command fails as it doesn't find a slot
2. drmgr throws error while removing the slot
3. ctrl+c closes the terminal opened for any vm
4. ctrl+] doesn't close the terminal. But comes out with an extra 'Enter'

This bug reported looks similar to
Bug 191386 - [Regression] RHEL8.3 zstream - drmgr command failing (DLPAR) (powerpc-utils?)
which was due to older version of drmgr having been bundled in the pvm-core package rather than using the provided 1.3.6 version that came with RHEL.
Here on the Ubuntu 20.04LTS we have the same binary for drmgr...
neo@novap9zz:~$ whereis drmgr
drmgr: /usr/sbin/drmgr /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
neo@novap9zz:~$ md5sum /usr/sbin/drmgr /usr/local/sbin/drmgr

c7863c699a2761567ae9d9b75dcc7854 /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
yet according to the list of packages installed, is based on a fairly older version of powerpc-utils-1.3.4-0ubuntu2 which is still the latest available for 20.04 LTS. Current versions of Ubuntu provide version 1.3.10-2
Assigning to Nathan to review and see which changes might be missing in order to resolve this. I'll also attach a sosreport collected from the LPAR...

Yes we saw similar issues and fix has been provided for RHEL, which If i am not wrong was with socat as well.

I can't figure out what's wrong with my current permissions.
Is there a root password for that NovaLink partition? That would help me look at what the utilities are doing under the hood.

The powerpc-utils metapackage pulls in the appropriate tools for each

I see that 22.04 ("Jammy Jellyfish") packages powerpc-utils 1.3.9, but that 20.04 (Focal Fossa) is still packaging 1.3.4.
Is there a protocol for advancing the packaged version in upstream for a given release?

To be perfectly clear: powerpc-utils 1.3.4 was tagged Sep 1 2017:
https://github.com/ibm-power-utilities/powerpc-utils/commit/2e26d2996789a1e61dd0a872f579dc5768128836
I suspect many bugs have been fixed in the interim.

What do you mean by "plan"?
The problem is that the distribution is packaging an ancient release of powerpc-utils. They need to package a newer release.
Who on the NovaLink team is responsible for coordinating dependencies with Ubuntu packaging? That person needs to reach out to the person on the Ubuntu side responsible for packaging powerpc-utils and ask them to package powerpc-utils 1.3.9, if not 1.3.10, as they do for all later OS releases.

Alternatively, you could upgrade the release to 22.04.2, which packages a newer release of powerpc-utils.

So, I think the newer powerpc-utils release may help to resolve the problem here.
