16 years agoBM now recognizes two distinct forms of 'debug' mode.
Stephen Soltesz [Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:34:24 +0000 (18:34 +0000)]
BM now recognizes two distinct forms of 'debug' mode.

1) 'dbg' comes from failing to reach 'boot' state.
2) 'diag' comes from an admin explicitly setting the node to
'diagnostic'/'debug' mode.

Previously there was no way to tell the diff.  And, users trying to
reconfigure their machines, would reboot the node, but not reset the boot
state through the gui.  The result would be that the machine would pull the
current boot state from PLC (which happened to be debug from previous
failures) and the node would appear to the user to still be broken.  THis adds
unnecessary time to the support@ list in mis-understanding what's going on for the
user, when everything is actually in place on the node; it's just in the wrong
boot state.

Thus, having BM automatically try to perform the 'bootRun()' when in 'dbg'
state will prevent a correct configuration from stalling the node from coming
online.  In this way, we have moved the requirement for setting the boot state
through the GUI by the user to BM.

I think this is preferrable.

16 years agoAdds backward compatibility to the BootManager for older bootcds. Rather than
Stephen Soltesz [Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:22:51 +0000 (18:22 +0000)]
Adds backward compatibility to the BootManager for older bootcds.  Rather than
failing to load the new pciscan library, it will succeed with the old
behavior.  In particular some devices will fail to be detected using the old
bootcd.  But, this shouldn't be that much of a problem.

Daniel has proposed that the pypciscan.so library simply be re-written in
python by parsing /proc/bus/pci/devices to create a structure like:

    pypciscan.get_devices()
returns {'<domain>:<bus>:<dev>.<func>' :
(<vendor id>, <device id>, <subvendor id>, <subdevice id>, <device class << 8 | progif>)}
for all PCI devices.

I agree that this would be a better approach.  Would have to check that the
older bootcd kernel exports all of this information, then rewrite the module.
