we're interested in soliciting feedback from the community.<br>
<br>
Issue: systemd-networkd-wait-online.service stalls for 120 seconds when <br>
the managed NICs do not have a network connection.<br>
<br>
TLDR: Should OpenBMC remove systemd-networkd-wait-online.service <br>
universally?<br>
<br>
System Config: All NICs in the system are not connected to an active <br>
network.<br>
<br>
Test Process: The system under test (SUT) has AC removed, and some time <br>
later AC applied. Wait for BMC/BIOS to boot<br>
<br>
Behavior: U-Boot hands control to the Linux boot process, and the <br>
systemd services are started. When systemd-networkd-wait-online.service <br>
starts it stalls waiting for the NICs to enter a fully functional state. <br>
This never happens during the default 120 second timeout period for this <br>
service. When the timeout elapses, an error message is logged to the <br>
journal reporting the service exited unsuccessfully.<br>
<br>
Issues: This service blocks entry to multi-user.target.<br>
phosphor-state-manager uses multi-user.target to report the BMC is ready <br>
to use.<br>
This is reported via IPMI Get Device ID.<br>
The Intel BIOS is blocked from booting until <br>
systemd-networkd-wait-online times out.<br>
BMC entry to multi-user.target is delayed. Journal entries are created.<br>
<br>
Question for the community: Given the negative side effects caused by <br>
running this service does the community want to have this service <br>
collectively removed from global build image?<br>
