[ZSvirt] bug: kernel module for Intel Corporation C602 chipset 4-Port SATA Storage - kmod-isci doesn't exist

[j0hnVu]

Component

zsvirt

Problem description

No kernel module for Intel Corporation C602 chipset 4-Port SATA Storage in current kernel, therefore, disks are not recognized if plugged into SATA port of this chipset

Steps to reproduce

1. Having motherboard that uses Intel C602 chipset.
2. Disks plugged in Intel C602's SATA ports
3. Disks would not be recognized.

Expected behavior

All disks plugged into Intel C602 chipset's SATA ports are recognized and functional

Environment

ZSvirt version: 1.0.0
Deployment mode: Management & Compute Host
Motherboard Model: SuperMicro X9SRE-IF
SATA Chipset: Intel C602 Storage Control Unit

[j0hnVu]

I have a workaround for this issue, which is to build kmod-isci from source, as any attempts to install from repos failed, even elrepo 8. I haven't had time to benchmark/testing, but it seems functional.

# Cloning kmod-isci from elrepo
sudo dnf install -y git
git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse \
    https://github.com/elrepo/packages.git /root/elrepo-packages

cd /root/elrepo-packages
git sparse-checkout set isci-kmod/el8
cd isci-kmod/el8

# build the kernel module
KVER=$(uname -r)
KDIR=/usr/src/kernels/$KVER

make -C "$KDIR" \
    M="$PWD" \
    CONFIG_SCSI_ISCI=m \
    modules

# install & load the module
install -D -m 0644 ./isci.ko \
    "/lib/modules/$KVER/extra/isci/isci.ko"

depmod -a "$KVER"
modprobe isci

# to automatically load module on boot
echo isci | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/isci.conf

Note from Chloe regarding this workaround:

For the moment, we suggest affected users build or install the isci module against the exact kernel version they are running. Please make sure the module version matches the current ZSVirt kernel, otherwise it may fail to load after kernel updates.
