  <summary>Feature update for saptune</summary>
  <description>This update for saptune fixes the following issues:

Update saptune from version 2.0.3 to version 3.0.0 (jsc#SLE-20985)

- This will be additional reflected in the saptune version found in '/etc/sysconfig/saptune' '(SAPTUNE_VERSION)'
- Strengthen configuration process with staging, checks of external changes and expansion of automation to new
  platforms (Azure, AWS) and hardware specifics (jsc#SLE-20985)
- Remove saptune version 1 (jsc#SLE-10823, 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'.
  - 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. (bsc#1149205)
  This can happen when a Note is renamed or deleted, but without reverting the Note 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.
- Validate if the json input file is empty and handle left-over files from the migration from saptune v1 to
  saptune v2 (bsc#1167618)
- To support system parameters only relevant for specific SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 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 (bsc#1167416)
  SAP Note 2205917 updated to Version 61
  SAP Note 2684254 updated to Version 15
- SAP Note 2382421 updated to Version 37 (bsc#1170672)
  - 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
- Support empty parameter values in the Note definition files and not only in the override 
  file. (bsc#1170672, jsc#TEAM-1702)
  - 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.
- 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. (bsc#1176243)
  - 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.
- 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 &gt;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 (jsc#SLE-16972)
  - Implement a lock to avoid multiple instances of saptune running in parallel. (jsc#TEAM-1700)
  - Support for non-colorized output (jsc#TEAM-1679)
  - If redirecting the output from saptune to a pipe, you no longer need to deal with the
	  'ugly' control sequences for the colorized output.
  - 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. (jsc#TEAM-1844)
    - 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
  - support custom solutions and override files for solutions. (jsc#TEAM-1706)
    - 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'
  - support for device specific configurations (jsc#TEAM-1728)
    - 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
  - add support for AZURE cloud (SAP Note 2993054) (jsc#TEAM-2676)
  - add support for AWS cloud (SAP Note 1656250) (jsc#TEAM-1754, 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)
  - rework daemon and service actions (jsc#TEAM-3154)
  - add support for 'read_ahead_kb' and 'max_sectors_kb' to the [block] section (jsc#TEAM-1699)
  - 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. (jsc#TEAM-4386)
    - It's the equivalent to the HANA Note 1980196.
  - move state files from '/var/lib/saptune' to '/run/saptune' to solve the problem of state files surviving a reboot.
  - add '/sbin/saptune_check'
  - add the description of the solution definitions shipped with saptune to the man page saptune(8) (jsc#TEAM-4260)
