macjlHello09:57
macjlI'm trying to install Unbuntu in LPAR09:57
macjlBut facing problems with VLAN tagging09:57
macjlThe installer don't ask me if I use VLAN, so the network does'nt work...09:58
macjlAnyone know how to net install ubuntu on s390x arch with VLAN tagging?09:59
xnoxmacjl, you have two options10:07
xnoxmacjl, return to main menu ("<")10:07
xnoxchange debconf priority to medium10:07
xnoxthen it should ask you to use vlan, but that may or may not work.10:07
xnoxi typically "go through the motions up to ssh client password setup"10:08
xnoxthen return to main menu10:08
xnoxdrop to shell10:08
xnoxand bring up vlan network by hand, e.g.10:08
xnoxip link set dev encc000 up10:08
xnoxip link add link encc000 name encc000.2654 type vlan id 265410:08
xnoxip addr add 10.245.237.7/24 brd 10.245.237.255 dev encc000.265410:08
xnoxip link set dev encc000.2654 up10:08
xnoxip route add default via 10.245.237.110:09
xnoxecho nameserver 10.245.237.1 >> /etc/resolv.conf10:09
xnox..10:09
xnoxadjust as needed.10:09
xnoxyou would then have to bring up network by hand again in the installed system, and adjust /etc/network/interfaces10:09
xnoxwork is in progress to improve vlan network support. Do let me know your experience with debconf medium priority that does ask for vlan network tag.10:10
macjlThans, I'll try!10:13
xnoxmacjl, no problem. =)10:13
BercikIt's good to see people alive on s390* channels :)11:55
xnoxBercik, yeah =) slowly picking up.12:18
BercikI remember idling +/- 9 months on hercules channel. Not even one word :)12:19
xnoxhehe12:19
xnoxhonestly i have tried hercules, but did not manage to boot anything in it =(12:19
BercikI did12:19
Bercikbut not with ubuntu ;(12:19
Berciknor modern distros (RHEL 7, SLES 12).12:20
xnoxyeah, cause ubuntu needs transactional memory and like zEC12 or better cpu12:20
xnoxi don't think hercules has emulation for that12:20
BercikI tried newest 4.012:20
xnoxi wish qemu had system emulation on other platforms, but that's not in for same reasons arm64 foreign emulation is not there12:20
xnoxhm, i did not try 4.0 from github, right?12:21
Bercikyup,12:22
BercikIt runs debian 8 with no problems. Same for my rusty z/OS 1.1012:22
xnoxhttps://github.com/hercules-390/hyperion/issues/3912:23
xnoxwe need that for ubuntu12:23
BercikDepends on my CPU config. After IPL it ends up with "you need more recent hardware" or Wait State12:24
Bercikxnox,   --enable-interlocked-access-facility-2=yes|no12:35
Bercik                          enable/disable Interlocked Access Facility 212:35
Bercik                          (default yes)12:35
Bercikthis is mentioned multiple times, when talking about Linux IPL, and this new version seems to has it.12:35
xnoxno idea. i just know that both kernel and glibc use transactional memory on ubuntu (and other modern distros too)12:36
xnoxand that needs transactiona-execution facility12:36
xnoxi don't know what this interlocked access facility is, and/or if transactional memory/execution is implemented using above in hercules12:36
macjlFor infomation, with debconf priority set to medium, I was able to choose a VLAN ID14:36
macjlBut after installation, the configuration was not ste in /etc/network/interfaces14:37
macjlI had to set it up manually14:37
xnoxmacjl, ack. thanks.14:58
xnoxwill investigate and will try to fix that up.14:58
xnoxmacjl, if you wish you can open a bug report about that with $ ubuntu-bug debian-installer14:59
xnoxor open one on launchpad manually against ubuntu project, debian-installer package, and attach logs from /var/log/installer14:59
xnoxif you can/allowed to share those.14:59
macjlI'll see if I can15:04
macjlNow I'm trying to make bonding work with vlan....15:04
xnoxmacjl, =))))) it should work, i try to avoid fiddling with things like that, and just defer it to infrastructure team =)15:08
macjlIt worked with VLAN + bonding. I've just moved a VM from IBM KVM to Ubuntu (offline) with no problems :)15:55
macjlIt doesn't seem to work with live migration because of a SELinux problem :15:57
macjlerror: unsupported configuration: Unable to find security driver for model selinux15:57
xnoxmacjl, right. in ubuntu we support live migration among our hypervisors (e.g. lxd to lxd, qemu to qemu)16:11
xnoxi don't know if it's possible to move things form z/KVM to Ubuntu live.16:11
xnoxmacjl, could you open a bug report about that? because surely we should be able to translate selinux model to apparmor (which is what used to protect qemu on ubuntu) and/or give option to ignore selinux context for migration (sub-optimal, but better than failing outright)16:12
xnoxmaybe we can enable selinux in relevant parts of the stack to make migrations work too.16:12
xnoxif you add tag "s390x" to the bug report, I will notice it and can route it appropriately to the right ubuntu teams16:13
