Hi,

I tried to reboot the ppc64le.alpinelinux.org machine because it was
not very responsive. It took 1253 seconds to shut it down (til ping
stopped respond), but it never came back again.

Can you help me have a look what went wrong?

If you cannot do it today, then maybe on monday?

Thanks!

We have been observing this OPAL-related problem on that machine for a
few weeks.  I suspect there is a problem with either the hardware or
the system firmware.

Yes, that is weird. I am not even able to access the IPMI for this machine.

As I cannot access the console, it is hard to understand what is going one,
we will need to restart it and see if we can recover any log. :-|

Fortunately Rafael is in the lab, and he is restarting the machine. Let's try
to get it online as soon as possible.

The machine is back online (Thanks Rafael) and it seems that it hit a kernel issue.
I am wondering if this is a physical problem or a kernel issue. We will need to investigate:

Right. That is what we were talking earlier today. We probably want to
migrate to the latest firmware and see if the problem still continue.

We should be able to upgrade the firmware next week, so, we will need to stop
the machine and do the upgrade.

Thank you very much for bringing the machine back.

Was there any load on the machine over the weekend? or does the problem 
appear even when idle?

I am checking the machine and it didn't hit the problem during this 
weekend,
so, the problem does not seem to be very frequently, and I want to wait a 
bit
more to see if the problem will show up again.

Depending on the problem appearnce, Guilherme and I will be upgrading the
machine firmware next Thursday in the morning.

On another POWER machine I observe similar behaviour when the machine
is under network load, but not enough to cause the driver to switch to
polling mode.  Accordingly, I was thinking that maybe it is being
triggered by rsync.

I can try to upgrade the firmware to latest on my machine and see if
it goes away.

Hi,

For what it's worth, I upgraded the firmware on the SC812L machine I
have, and I can no longer reproduce this problem.  I even created a VM
with qemu -enable-kvm and nothing bad happened.
So, it is probably the firmware.

Hi,

I think the problems started after we made the jenkins qemu/kvm VM.
Before that we have not had any issues as far I can remember.

I have stopped the VM since we don't use it in production yet, but I
can start it again if you want reproduce it.

Was the firmware updated? Is the machine up and running and ready for the 
Alpine ppc64le builders to be restarted?
