[Vacm-general] Slow EMP handling

[Ard v. B. <ar...@te...>]

Hi,
I'm just wondering if it is correct that EMP is *very* slow...
Yes, using ipmi-ctl, it was already slow, but this:
ard@c24574:/net/home/ard$ time vash -c localhost -u blum -p frub -x 'ipc localhost emp:refresh:rs0'
EMP:22:JOB_STARTED
EMP:22:STATUS:ENGAGING
EMP:22:STATUS:PROTOCOL_DETECTED
EMP:22:STATUS:CONNECTION_ACCEPTED
EMP:22:STATUS:DOWNLOADING_FRU
EMP:22:STATUS:DOWNLOADING_SDR
vash: Nexxus 127.0.0.1 timed out waiting for IPC response

real    1m37.677s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.010s

ard@c24574:/net/home/ard$ time vash -c localhost -u blum -p frub -x 'ipc localhost emp:chassis_status:rs0'
EMP:25:JOB_STARTED
EMP:22:STATUS:DOWNLOADING_SEL
EMP:22:JOB_COMPLETED

real    0m31.029s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.010s
Hmmm, a bug in vash? Doesn't it wait for the right job to complete?


System setup:
The emp module is connected through a portmaster using netdata
configuration (==raw) to the emp port of a va2230.

ard@c24574:/net/home/ard$ vash -c localhost -u blum -p frub -x 'ipc localhost em
p:bmc_info:rs0'
EMP:10:JOB_STARTED
EMP:10:BMCINFO:1.14:Invalid IANA Number:0.9:1
EMP:10:JOB_COMPLETED

Anyway, I wanted to check if it is normal to have to wait, say more than
1 minute, before power_off actually turns it off...
