-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 13 13:03:36 UTC 2021 - abriel@suse.com

- update package version of saptune to 3.0.0
  This will be additional reflected in the saptune version found in
  /etc/sysconfig/saptune (SAPTUNE_VERSION)
  So now we will have saptune version 3
  
- saptune version 3
  Strengthen configuration process with staging, checks of external
  changes and expansion of automation to new platforms (Azure, AWS)
  and hardware specifics
  (jsc#SLE-21029 and jsc#SLE-20985)

- remove saptune version 1
  (jsc#SLE-10823 and jsc#SLE-10842)
- remove usage of tuned from saptune
  Add an own systemd service file for saptune to start/stop tuning
  of parameter values during a reboot of the system.
  Add a new saptune action 'service' to handle the saptune.service
  supporting start/stop/enable/disable/status a.s.m.
  The saptune action 'daemon', which handled tuned.service in the
  past, is now flagged as 'deprecated' and internally linked to the
  new action 'service'
  (jsc#SLE-5589, jsc#SLE-5588, jsc#SLE-6457)
- add a sanity check to detect Note definition files which do not
  exist anymore, because they were renamed or deleted, but without
  reverting them before.
  saptune will now print an error message, remove the Note from the
  tracking variables in /etc/sysconfig/saptune and try to revert
  the related parameter settings.
  (bsc#1149205)
- check, if json input file is empty and handle some left-over
  files from the migration from saptune v1 to saptune v2
  (bsc#1167618)
- To support system parameters only relevant for specific SLES
  releases, service packs and/or hardware architectures saptune
  now supports 'tagged' sections inside the Note definition files.
  (jsc#SLE-13246, jsc#SLE-13245)
- new kernel requirement for Power added to SAP-Note 2205917 and
  2684254
  SAP Note 2205917 updated to Version 61
  SAP Note 2684254 updated to Version 15
  (bsc#1167416)
- SAP Note 2382421 updated to Version 37
  and move all 'not-well-defined' parameters from the 'reminder'
  section into the 'sysctl' section, but with 'empty' values.
  Use an override file to define the values fitting your system
  requirements
  (bsc#1170672)
- support empty parameter values in the Note definition files and
  not only in the override file.
  This is needed for the support of SAP Notes like 2382421, so that
  the customer is able to simply use an override file to define
  some special parameters instead of using a customer specific Note
  definition file.
  needed for bsc#1170672
  (jsc#TEAM-1702)
- report an 'error' instead of 'info' and set the exit code to '1',
  if we reject the apply of a solution
  (bsc#1167213)
- Skip perf bias change if secure boot is enabled
  When a system is in lockdown mode, i.e., Secure Boot is enabled,
  MSR cannot be altered in user-space. So check, if Secure Boot is
  enabled using the mokutil utility and skip setting the perf bias
  in case it is.
  (bsc#1176243)
- rework the internal block device handling to speed up the apply
  of block device related tunings on systems with a high number of
  block devices.
  (bsc#1178207)
- change block device handling to handle multipath devices
  correctly. Only the DM multipath devices will be used for the
  settings, but not its paths.
  (bsc#1179275)
- fixed wrong comparison used for setting FORCE_LATENCY
  (bsc#1185702)
- add keyword 'all' to the 'rpm' section description in the man page
  saptune-note(5)
  (bsc#1182287)
- support note definition versions containing digits, upper-case
  and lower-case letters, dots, underscores, minus and plus signs.
  (bsc#1182289)
- fixed issue with 'verify' operation and parameter
  'VSZ_TMPFS_PERCENT'. As this parameter is only used to calculate
  the value of 'ShmFileSystemSizeMB' (if it is not set to a value
  >0 in the Note definition file) it will not be checked and
  compared during the saptune operation 'verify'. A footnote is
  pointing this out.
  (bsc#1182009)
- SAP Note 1771258 update nofile values
  (bsc#1164720)
- SAP Note 2684254 updated to Version 20
  SAP Note 2578899 updated to Version 39
  SAP Note 1680803 updated to Version 26

- enhancements for saptune version 3
  All jsc#TEAM-* entries mentioned below are related to this rework
  (jsc#SLE-16972)

- Implement a lock to avoid multiple instances of saptune running
  in parallel.
  (jsc#TEAM-1700)
- Support for non-colorized output
  If redirecting the output from saptune to a pipe, you no longer
  need to deal with the 'ugly' control sequences for the colorized
  output.
  (jsc#TEAM-1679)
- Add enable/disable for systemd units and support all systemd unit
  types in section [service]
  (jsc#TEAM-1701)
- remove script /usr/share/doc/packages/saptune/sapconf2saptune
  and the associated man page
  (jsc#TEAM-1707)
- implement staging of Note definition file and solution
  definitions.
  The idea is to freeze the saptune configuration to avoid config
  changes on package update when adding/removing/changing notes
  or solutions within the package
  (jsc#TEAM-1844)
- support custom solutions and override files for solutions.
  Partners and customers will now be able to define their own
  solution definitions by using files in /etc/saptune/extra
  or to override the shipped solution definitions by using
  override files in /etc/saptune/override
  (jsc#TEAM-1706)
- support for device specific configurations 
  only supported for the [block] section, tags are 'vendor' and
  'model' to support special block devices of a dedicated hardware
  vendor or a dedicated hardware model
  (jsc#TEAM-1728)
- add support for AZURE cloud (SAP Note 2993054)
  (jsc#TEAM-2676)
- add support for AWS cloud (SAP Note 1656250)
  (jsc#TEAM-1754 and jsc#TEAM-1755)
- add NVMe support to the block device handling to support AWS
  (jsc#TEAM-2675)
- add SAP Note 3024346 (a NetApp note)
  (jsc#TEAM-3454)

- add a warning to the reminder section of SAP Note 2382421
  regarding iSCSI devices and setting of 'net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries'
  (jsc#TEAM-1705)
- for the actions 'note customise' and 'note create' check, if the
  customer has changed something during the editor session.
  If not, remove the temporary created note definition file.
  (jsc#TEAM-825)
- add support for [sys] section
  and handle double configurations for parameters defined in the 
  [sys] section
  (jsc#TEAM-3342)
- check system sysctl config files as mentioned in the comments of
  /etc/sysctl.conf and in man page sysctl.conf(5) for sysctl
  parameters currently set by saptune notes. Print a warning and a
  footnote for 'verify' and 'customize'.
  (jsc#TEAM-1696)
- add support for [filesystem] section
  only check filesystem mount options, not modify. Starting with
  filesystem type 'xfs'
  (jsc#TEAM-4093)
- add SAP Note 900929 for SAP Netweaver workloads.
  It's the equivalent to the HANA Note 1980196.

  (jsc#TEAM-4260)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Feb 25 16:59:15 UTC 2020 - abriel@suse.com

- update version of saptune v2 to 2.0.3
- changes to the UserTasksMax handling in saptune
  In SLE15 the limit is removed from the systemd login manager and
  therefore the setting is no longer supported in SLE15 by saptune.

On a system running SLE12 we do not restart the logind service,
  but try to reload the new configuration after creating or
  removing the drop-in file for UserTasksMax by using
  'systemctl reload-or-try-restart systemd-logind'
  as display managers do not like a restart of the logind service.
  (bsc#1161791)
- add commands for listing enabled Notes/Solutions to saptune
  (bsc#1160564)
- correct typo in the year in the man page headline of man page
  saptune-note(5)
- SAP Note 1410736 updated to Version 6
  correct typo net.ipv4.tcp_probes to net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jan 14 14:57:59 UTC 2020 - abriel@suse.com

- if a parameter is not supported by the system, the note action
  'verify' will no longer report this as an error even if the value
  is not compliant.
  Additionally if there is a non compliant 'grub' parameter, which
  has a compliant 'alternative' setting availabel (see man page 
  saptune-note(5) for details), the note action 'verify' will no
  longer report this as an error
  (bsc#1159671)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Jan  2 12:33:00 UTC 2020 - abriel@suse.com

- remove no longer needed and now misleading message at the end of
  note action 'revert'.
- check, if sapconf service is available before disabling this
  service during 'saptune daemon start'
  (bsc#1156049)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Dec  3 09:37:55 UTC 2019 - abriel@suse.com

- add action 'delete' to the 'note' operation to delete a customer
  or vendor specific Note definition file including the
  corresponding override file if available.
  A confirmation is needed to finish the action.

add action 'rename' to the 'note' operation to rename a customer
  or vendor specific Note definition file to a new name. If a
  corresponding override file is available, this file will be
  renamed too. A confirmation is needed to finish the action.

If the Note is already applied, the action will be terminated
  with the information, that the Note first needs to be reverted
  before it can be deleted or renamed.
  (jsc#SLE-9283)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Nov  8 17:03:01 UTC 2019 - abriel@suse.com

- Inform the customer that - by intention - the command 
         'saptune note customise <NoteID>'
  does not apply changes immediately. It just changes the
  configuration in the 'override' file. These changes have to be
  applied in a second step.
  This is explained in the man page saptune_v2(8) and a message is
  printed in the logs and on the screen to inform the customer.
  (bsc#1142467)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Nov  7 09:59:54 UTC 2019 - abriel@suse.com

- Add warning to man page, not to rename/remove/modify active

  (bsc#1152598)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Oct  4 11:24:11 UTC 2019 - abriel@suse.com

- check, if the directory /etc/security/limits.d exists before
  writing the limits drop-in file. If not, create it.

- add the '--no-pager' option to 'systemctl --list-unit-files' to
  get all services at once.

- add missing search pattern to the update helper script to find all
  old and superfluous notes during upgrade from SLE12 to SLE15

For the daemon operations do not exit with an error, if a note
  definition file does not exist. Instead only log and print an
  error message, but continue with applying the other notes
  (bsc#1142526)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jul 19 08:49:08 UTC 2019 - abriel@suse.com

- on 12SP1 and 12SP2 the directory /etc/security/limits.d may not
  exist. So create the missing directory during postinstall of the
  package.

- no longer write or remove entries from /etc/security/limits.conf.
  Instead add or remove drop-in files in /etc/security/limits.d
  The filename syntax for the drop-in files /etc/security/limits.d
  is saptune-<domain>-<item>-<type>.conf
  The limits entry syntax inside the Note definition files changed
  to support more than one limits settings in the definition file
  (bsc#1128322)
