powerman-2.4.4 - 11 Sep 2024

Fix segfault affecting systems with power control hierarchy.

Fixes

  • powerman: fix segfault if unspecified host reports status
  • redfishpower: do not report errors on dependent hosts
  • Update hostlist library to fix potential array out of bounds error.

powerman-2.4.3 - 11 Jul 2024

Command lines can be very long on a big system.

Fixes

  • powerman: increase maximum line length

powerman-2.4.2 - 02 May 2024

More tuning for the large Cray EX system, and a work-around for a libcurl bug on RHEL 8.

New features

  • redfishpower: cache host resolution lookups (#190)
  • redfishpower: support new --resolve-hosts option (#188)
  • redfishpower: support message timeout config (#186)

FIxes

  • redfishpower: increase default message timeout (#191)
  • redfishpower: output more detailed error messages (#183)

powerman-2.4.1 - 12 Apr 2024

This release represents a focused effort to support a large Cray EX system including adding support in redfishpower to handle the power hierarchy of Chassis/Blade/Node sensibly, and to better handle expected failure modes.

Powerman now supports the ability for a device script to match error output and fail immediately. Prior to this release, the only way to get powerman to fail was to not provide expected successful output and run out the device timeout.

New features

  • redfishpower: support auth setup on command line (#181)
  • set default Cray EX authentication (#179)
  • add device file for Cray EX w/ Rabbit (#177)
  • add redfishpower HPE Cray EX chassis device file (#173)
  • powerman: support error diagnostics with setresult (#172)
  • redfishpower: add more details on hierarchy errors (#174)
  • powerman: support new setresult directive (#168)
  • powerman: use singlet script if targeting one plug (#170)
  • redfishpower: support plug parents (#164)
  • redfishpower: support plug substitution (#159)
  • redfishpower: support setpath configuration (#158)
  • redfishpower: support setplugs configuration (#157)
  • redfishpower: refactor internals to use plugs (#160)
  • redfishpower: always do off/delay/on for power cycle (#149)
  • redfishpower: send http request after cmd active (#146)
  • powermand: don't daemonize and drop -f,--foreground option (#141)
  • libczmq: add containers from the CZMQ project (#124)

Fixes

  • redfishpower: adapt status polling interval (#167)
  • redfishpower: fix memleaks and test under valgrind (#169)
  • powerman: when status and status_all are defined, use status_all only on full pluglist (#156)
  • redfishpower: add extra timeout debug information (#154)
  • redfishpower: adjust verbosity output (#151)
  • reduce log noise (#140)
  • don't allocate a pseudo-terminal for each coprocess (#135)
  • redfishpower: handle http 400 error (#132)

Cleanup

  • drop antiquated memory protection magic (#136)
  • redfishpower: cleanup & refactoring (#134)

CI/Test/build system

  • configure.ac: build helper executables by default (#180)
  • test a huge cray-ex configuration (#127)
  • redfishpower: reduce polling interval in test mode (#155)
  • redfishpower: add option to test host errors (#145)
  • redfishpower: support test mode (#143)
  • enable valgrind test with suppressions (#137)
