Private bug reported: This request is to: 1. Include support in the Ubuntu installer to parse nBFT and connect to the NVMe-oF TCP namespaces listed in the nBFT. 2. Install to the connected namespace. 3. Configure UEFI boot entry to automatically boot to the newly installed target.
EDKII code is available as part of the Timberland Work Group that will produce an nBFT. There is a kernel patch that will expose the nBFT to user space and a utility called 'nbft' that will parse the nBFT and output a json that is used by dracut to discover NVMe namespaces. https://github.com/timberland-sig/edk2 https://github.com/timberland-sig/dracut ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Information type changed from Public to Private -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948634 Title: Ubuntu 22.04 Feature Request-Include support in ubuntu installer(subiquity) detect NVMe-oF TCP volumes from nBFT and install to them Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This request is to: 1.
