Fri Mar 21 15:42:51 UTC 2025 - abriel@suse.com
- update package version of saptune to 3.2.0
* saptune version 3.2
(jsc#PED-8163)
* SLE16 - Optimized out-of-the-box experience for SAP workloads
SLES for SAP Applications should have by default all tunings
enabled and packages started that are common for SAP workloads.
(jsc#PED-10984)
* SLE16 - Tune common values for SAP workloads per default
(jsc#PED-10072)
* SLE16 support: preparing a SAP Solution 'SAP_Base' with one
Note '1275776' to support base tuning on SLES and SLES4SAP 16.
(jsc#SAPSOL-530)
* SLE16 support: implement new start behavior for saptune on 16.
If the saptune package gets installed (by pattern or manually)
it calls 'saptune solution apply SAP_Base' to initiate the
base tuning.
A customer can change this base tuning after package
installation by 'saptune solution change <New_Solution>' or by
'saptune revert all' and 'saptune solution apply <New_Sol>'
(jsc#SAPSOL-533)
* Enhanced the saptune supportconfig plugin,
added 'saptune status', 'saptune note verify', /var/log/zypp,
'saptune note list', 'saptune solution list',
'saptune --format json saptune check',
'saptune --format json note list',
'saptune --format json solution list',
'saptune --format json status' and
'saptune --format json note verify'
(jsc#SAPSOL-169)
* Refresh changed Note parameter
(jsc#TEAM-3943)
* Add detection of offline CPUs when setting/verify governor or
force_latency settings
(bsc#1221020, jsc#TEAM-8427)
* Enhance CPU handling with additional warnings and skip governor
settings, if intel_idle and intel_pstate are disabled
(jsc#TEAM-3759, jsc#TEAM-8427)
* Fix Nvme disk detection
(bsc#1233126)
* Check if orphaned overwrites exist.
If an override file exists in /etc/saptune/override, but no
related Note definition file or solution definition can be
found in the working area /var/lib/saptune/working/ or in the
custom/vendor directory /etc/saptune/extra, a warning message
is printed and logged.
Additional a line about orphaned overrides is added to the
bottom of the 'saptune status' output.
(jsc#TEAM-6598)
* saptune alternatives should not listed as non-compliant
(jsc#TEAM-8719)
* Remove '(no change)' leftover for 'saptune note verify'
(jsc#TEAM-9136)
* Add json support to 'saptune check'
Enhance json schema and update to version 1.1
(jsc#TEAM-8959)
* Force colored output by using the global option '--force-color'
With that it will be possible to override the color-suppressing,
if a pipe has been detected as there are use cases
(e.g. piping into less) where the color codes can be useful.
(jsc#TEAM-9205)
* Add new command 'saptune configure <parameter> <value>' to
change values in the config file /etc/sysconfig/saptune.
(jsc#TEAM-8703)
* Add new command 'saptune configure reset' to reset the saptune
configuration.
This will revert the tuning (revert all) and reset the saptune
configuration file back to the installation default.
(jsc#SAPSOL-331)
* Add new command 'saptune configure TrentoASDP <value>' to
configure the discovery interval for saptune on Trento.
(jsc#SAPSOL-117)
* Tag handling clarification in the man page.
The same tag cannot be used multiple times with different
values in one section of a Note definition file, because all
tags of a section are concatenated by AND (and not OR).
(jsc#TEAM-9243)
* Add new tag 'pmu_name' for CPU platform selection.
May be helpful for special FORCE_LATENCY settings depending on
the used CPU platform to get optimal performance.
As the values are taken from /sys/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name,
it's an Intel CPU only feature for now.
(jsc#TEAM-7073)
* Add new tag 'virt' for virtualization type selection.
Valid values are 'vm', 'chroot' and 'container' as reported by
'/usr/bin/systemd-detect-virt -v|-c|-r'
(jsc#TEAM-6070)
* Add additional actions for 'verify'
'saptune note verify applied' and 'saptune verify applied'
(jsc#TEAM-9204)
* For internal used calculations increase the logging information
for the used parameters, values and results
(jsc#SAPSOL-168)
* Adjust return code from 1 to 128 if a wrong saptune version is
detected.
(jsc#SAPSOL-209)
* Add new global option '--fun'. If set, the 'yes', 'no' in the
compliant column of 'saptune note verify' is replaced by a
smiley.
(jsc#SAPSOL-236)
* Add systemd hardening to the saptune systemd service file
starting 15SP4
(jsc#TEAM-7425)
* adapt man page and help output for global option '--fun'
(jsc#SAPSOL-272)
* add list of exit codes to man page saptune(8)
(jsc#TEAM-9836)
* man pages - add warning about race condition of systemd units
during system boot.
saptune-note.5 already contained a description, now saptune.8
was enhanced as well.
(bsc#1190508)
* add new man page saptune-solution(5)
(jsc#TEAM-9870)
* SLE16 support: add new SAP Note 3565382 and 3577842
* deprecate Note 1680803 and Solution SAP-ASE
The Note and the Solution might get removed in a future saptune
version
(jsc#SAPSOL-419)
* SAP Note 2684254
Intel architecture related settings (currently section 'cpu'
and 'grub') are now tagged with 'arch=x86_64' in the Note
definition file to no longer confuse customers on other
architectures with 'useless' warnings and footnotes.
(jsc#TEAM-9235)

output to show only non-compliant parameter.
(jsc#SLE-23727)
* add action 'saptune solution change' to switch to a new
solution even that another solution was already applied.
It's basically a 'revert OLDSOLUTION' && 'apply NEWSOLUTION'.
This will change the Note order in case of additional applied
Notes, but this is intended.
The confirmation for the revert of the old solution can be
suppressed by '--force'
(jsc#PED-2196)
* introduce a Trento naming convention for custom solutions in

needs to be provided
(jsc#SLE-23722)
* add more information to 'saptune status':
differ between 'enabled' and 'applied' Solutions and add the
related Notes.
differ between Notes and Solutions in the staging area.
rename 'system state' line to 'systemd system state' to prevent
misunderstandings.
add virtualisation information.
* add tuning state to 'saptune status' output.
The check of the tuning state (an internal 'verify' operation)
can be skipped by using the flag '--non-compliance-check'.
In this case the tuning state will be reported as
unknown (checking disabled)
'saptune status' will exit with a return code of '4', if the
saptune service is enabled, the system is tuned, but the
tuning state is 'not compliant'.

includes version 3.1 of 'SAP Applications on SAP Adaptive
Server Enterprise - Best Practices for Migration and Runtime'
* Solution 'SAP-ASE' changed - remove SAP Note 1410736.
The best practice document (version 3.1) for ASE was changed
and the SAP Note 1410736 is no longer referenced. Instead the
parameter 'net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time' is set in
SAP Note 1680803 (the ASE SAP Note) directly.
* introduce an additional parameter 'SKIP_SYSCTL_FILES' in the
/etc/sysconfig/saptune configuration file, which contains a
comma separated list of sysctl.conf files or directories
containing sysctl.conf files, which should be excluded from
the 'additional defined' WARNING messages.
Default is
SKIP_SYSCTL_FILES="/boot"
to skip the WARNINGS for '/boot/sysctl.conf-<kernelversion>'
- check in preinstall and posttrans of the package installation,
if the active tuned profile is still 'saptune', even that this
profile no longer exists. If yes, try to remove it.

Add some additional log messages to identify the cause and add
a hint to the man page.
- fix block device settings (e.g. NRREQ) for multipath devices
(bsc#1193576)
- 'saptune verify' will now report a non existing sysctl or sys

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

- 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.

- 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'.

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.

- 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)

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
