Bug Description

[Impact]

 * It's not possible to access iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) information
   (settings for network interface, initiator, and target) in the installer
   because the 'iscsi_ibft' module is not present in udeb packages.

 * Even if it was, the installer does not handle iBFT information at all,
   thus any settings are ignored, and iSCSI-related configuration has to
   be done manually or with workarounds.

 * This impacts user-experience and automatic installation on systems and
   deployments which actually do provide the iBFT feature and information,
   but cannot use it practically.

 * With proper iBFT support in the installer (kernel module in udeb package
   and automatic iSCSI-related configuration) users will be able to rely on
   iBFT to install/deploy Ubuntu on their servers and datacenters.

 * These fixes add the 'iscsi_ibft' kernel module in the scsi-modules udeb,
   and configure network/iSCSI according to iBFT information in disk-detect.

   This is done in disk-detect so that the iSCSI LUNs are detected as disks
   (useful in case of no other disks in the system so the installer doesn't
   complain nor wait too long) and that any partman-related preseed options
   are not required and may be still available for the user.

[Test Case]

 * linux package / kernel module in udeb:

   $ dpkg-deb -c scsi-modules_*.udeb | grep iscsi_ibft.ko

   Check the module loads in the installer environment.
   See comment with example for disco.

 * d-i/hw-detect/partman-iscsi package:
   See comments 11, 12, 13.

[Regression Potential]

 * linux package: low, the kernel module is not loaded by default,
   and only checks whether iBFT information is present in firmware,
   then exposes that in sysfs in read-only mode.

 * d-i/hw-detect/partman-iscsi:
   - d-i: kernel version update to include iscsi_ibft module,
          based on kernel released to -updates plus one week
          monitoring bug reports -- it should be OK.
          Tested on amd64/i386/arm64/ppc64el on QEMU, plus amd64
          on baremetal -- see comment 11.
   - hw-detect: low, the changes are enabled by a preseed option.
                see comment 12.
   - partman-iscsi: low, simple changes, plus one fix that has
                    been tested in detail, and falls back to
                    previous behavior if it fails.
                    see comment 13.

[Other Info]

 * This has been verified both by the developer with a simple iSCSI
   iBFT environment (2 VMs: iSCSI target & initiator with UEFI+iPXE)
   and by an user with system/firmware that supports iBFT for iSCSI.

Check the module loads in the installer:

$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/disco/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/{linux,initrd.gz}

$ virt-install \

After network configuration, udeb download/install, in users/password, select go back and exit to shell.

Original udeb already downloaded and does not contain module:

Adding patches and test procedure for the debian-installer userspace part.
(disk-detect probes iSCSI iBFT disks; partman-iscsi sets ISCSI_AUTO=true for booting.)

The d-i patches should be uploaded/built _after_ hw-detect and partman-iscsi
are successfully built and published, so that its new versions are picked up.

The d-i kernel version change has been tested for the architectures
amd64, i386, arm64, and ppc64el, on both regular/lvm partitioning,
using VMs/QEMU for all archs, plus baremetal for amd64.

The hw-detect/partman-iscsi has been tested with a simple, virtual
iSCSI/iBFT setup using iPXE, which will be described shortly.

Test Procedure with KVM guests + iPXE
=====================================

- 2 guests: iSCSI target/server and iSCSI initiator/client.
- 1 bridge for iSCSI traffic (virbr-iscsi, new), static ip.
- 1 bridge for internet access (virbr0, exists), dhcp ip.

Host:
----

Configure the iSCSI bridge and QEMU access in the host:

    $ sudo ip link add dev virbr-iscsi type bridge
    $ sudo ip link set dev virbr-iscsi up
    $ echo 'allow virbr-iscsi' | sudo tee -a /etc/qemu/bridge.conf
    $ sudo chmod +s /usr/lib/qemu/qemu-bridge-helper

iSCSI target:
------------

This guest serves an iSCSI target with one LUN
in iSCSI NIC with IP 10.0.0.1 for IP 10.0.0.2.

Install/boot this guest:

 $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 guest-iscsi-target.qcow2 16g

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 \
      -nodefaults \
      -enable-kvm \

      -drive file=$RELEASE-server-amd64.iso,media=cdrom,read-only,if=scsi \

Configure iSCSI NIC:

$ cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/netplan/ens5.yaml && sudo netplan apply
network:

    ethernets:
        ens5:

        inet 10.0.0.1/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global ens4
    ...

Configure iSCSI target/lun:

    # apt-get install -y tgt

    # mkdir /var/lib/iscsi
    # dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/lib/iscsi/disk bs=1 count=0 seek=8G

    # tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode target --tid 1 -T iqn.2019-03.com.example:target1
    # tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode logicalunit --tid 1 --lun 1 -b /var/lib/iscsi/disk

    # tgtadm --lld iscsi --op bind --mode target --tid 1 -I 10.0.0.2
    # tgt-admin --dump >/etc/tgt/conf.d/target1.conf

iSCSI initiator:
---------------

This guest first boots iPXE to configure iBFT,
and then boots/chainloads to debian-installer.

The netboot initrd does not contain all patched udebs,
so download and install disk-detect and partman-iscsi
from the PPA during the install.

    $ wget http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.lkrn

Test procedure for the partman-iscsi changes
============================================

Based on the previous comment setup.

iSCSI initiator:
---------------

...

Note there's no 'iscsi_auto' in the kernel cmdline:

    iPXE> ifopen net0
    iPXE> kernel http://192.168.122.1:8000/vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz --- console=ttyS0
    iPXE> initrd http://192.168.122.1:8000/initrd.gz
    iPXE> boot

Back to serial console.
Proceed with the installer.

Test #0) Original partman-iscsi

In 'Partition disks' dialogs, select 'Go back', and 'Change debconf priority', and 'Continue', and 'low'.

Return to the 'Partition disks' dialog.
Select 'Guided partitioning',
and 'Guided - use entire disk',
and 'SCSI3 (0,0,1) (sda) - 8.6 GB IET VIRTUAL-DISK,
and 'All files in one partition (recommended for new users)',
and 'Finish partitioning and write changes to disk',
and 'No' in 'No partitions for use as swap space',
and 'Yes' in 'Write the changes to disks?',
and 'Continue' and 'Continue' for swap file questions.

This should partition and format the disk, and return to the menu, as the debconf priority is 'low'.

Select 'Execute a shell', and 'Continue'.

See that the wrong network interface is used for the HWADDR field in iscsi.initramfs
(trailing :01 instead of :02).

debbugs are "bug watches" in the LP.

Everything looks good me.

The only thing missing is the d-i rebuild with no modification but that have to wait until hw-detect/parman-iscsi are both built.

I apologise, I totally miss the fact that the second upload for partman-iscsi didn't have the LP# mentioned in the changelog.

We are all human, mistake happens ;) So I did the LP modification manually.

@mfo, could you produce a debdiff V2 for 'partman-iscsi' debdiff(s) and make sure it contains the LP# for not breaking the SRU machinery.

2 minor changelog tweaks:

-some of the lines were long (>80), i wrapped them
-the version number added the release suffix but also bumped the version, i corrected that
 (e.g., 1.117ubuntu6 -> 1.117ubuntu7.18.04.1 is wrong; corrected to 1.117ubuntu6.18.04.1)

code changes all LGTM

Hello, we are also running in to this same issue. I see that the bug appears to be fixed as of June 24th, but how would an end user like myself be able to get a hold of this? It appears the Ubuntu Server minimal iso is still an old version that does not contain the fix?

regards....

Hi Fred,

At this time it's only available in the netboot images (network installs) [1].

It should be available on ISOs in Eoan release 19.10 and next
Bionic point-release 18.04.3 (currently scheduled to August [2]).

We'll put some documentation about the installer kernel/preseed parameters soon,
but you should need two:

- disk-detect/ibft/enable=true to detect disks based on the iBFT config.
- partman-iscsi/iscsi_auto=true for partitioner on iscsi disks to set ISCSI_AUTO=true /etc/iscsi/iscsi.initramfs so that the installed systems tries to boot based on the iBFT config.

Hope this helps,
Mauricio

Thanks Mauricio,

We were able to get it to work with the netinstall iso and the kernel parameters you provided.

the source code for the serverguide is migrating to a different markup language for 20.04. The migration was done a few days before these revisions were committed. They need to be copied to the new source. I am attempting to add "target to series" stuff to this bug report, but it is not working, like other ones I have done already.
