iprutils enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An enhanced iprutils package is now available.
Description
The iprutils package provides utilities to manage and configure SCSI
devices that are supported by the ipr SCSI storage device driver.
This package upgrades iprutils to version 2.2.18, which includes:
- support for the Generation 2 SAS (serial attached SCSI) PCI-E card with
SSD (solid-state drive) has been added to systems with the PowerPC 64
architecture. (BZ#512246)
- iprconfig is a utility for configuring and recovering IBM Power RAID
storage adapters. The iprconfig utility previously reported an incorrect
firmware level for enclosures when called from a command line on systems
with the PowerPC 64 architecture. The firmware level was reported correctly
in the iprconfig graphical user interface (GUI). The iprconfig utility has
been updated to handle SES (SCSI enclosure services) devices the same in
both the command line and GUI, and the firmware level for enclosures is now
reported correctly. (BZ#532544)
Users with PowerPC 64 systems are advised to upgrade to this updated
iprutils package, which adds these enhancements.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
