Question: rwreg init() does not load vfat3 routines, is this a bug?

bdorney commented 6 years ago

Brief summary of issue

So trying to debug problems experienced:

http://cmsonline.cern.ch/cms-elog/1050906 http://cmsonline.cern.ch/cms-elog/1050905

Basically modules defined in rwreg.so and in:

from reg_utils.reg_interface.common.reg_base_ops

Function without problem, but those in xhal (lubrpcman.so) do not. And I'm wondering what the reason is.

Also I see the load here is version 1.0.1. Did we change this from 1.0.0 recently or was it always 1.0.0? Perhaps one of the issues I'm facing is that there is some compilation issue in which only a subset of the libaries on the DAQ machines (or on the cards themselves) are using 1.0.0?

I will try to recompile the libraries and place them on the cards...

Perhaps a separate issue on the xhal repo should be opened, but I am not yet sure what the problem is.

Your Environment

Version used: Unknown, what's the package name to use with yum info?

I do believe we are on v1.0.1 for a long time already

But shouldn't the above also have a line like:

        ASSERT(rpc.load_module("vfat3", "vfat3 v1.0.1"));

Otherwise what is loading the configure routines?

mexanick commented 6 years ago

It should be done in rpcman library, not in tthis one. This one will be even more cleaned in future

Understood, closing issue.
