Public bug reported: [impact]
This was discovered at a customer site and affects all of their Bionic installs that have Micron NVME drives. The version of nvme-cli present in Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver (1.5-1) does not include support to manage updating the firmware on Micron NVME drives. $ rmadison nvme-cli -a amd64 nvme-cli | 1.5-1 | bionic/universe | amd64 nvme-cli | 1.6-1 | cosmic/universe | amd64 nvme-cli | 1.7-1 | disco/universe | amd64 Version 1.6-1 and later versions do include this support, and can be used by rebuilding the package from upstream source as a static binary... not ideal, but a workaround. In lieu of pulling 1.7 from Disco back into Cosmic -> Bionic, can we cherry-pick this specific commit and backport it into 1.5 in Bionic? Or, can we do a micro-release of 1.6 into Bionic? https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme-cli/releases/tag/v1.6 [test case] Install nvme-cli from Bionic, and attempt to update firmware for any Micron NVME drive, using a command similar to the below. It will fail, as the drive is not supported. nvme micron select-download /dev/<nvme_device>n1 --fw ./Micron_9200_FW- 101008S0.tar --select=ALL [other info] The specific commit that adds the needed support for these drives appears to be: https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme- cli/pull/353/commits/0124daa3331602365d009a9e8229454c41931c07 ** Affects: nvme-cli (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838555 Title: nvme-cli 1.5 in Bionic does not support Micron NVME drives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvme-cli/+bug/1838555/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
