Description: used to send the ID of a string that should be displayed on
s-Par's automatic installation progress screen when an error
is encountered during installation. This field has no effect
if not in installation mode.

Description: used to set the value of the progress bar on the s-Par automatic
installation progress screen. This field has no effect if not in
installation mode.

Description: used to send the ID of a string that should be displayed on
s-Par's automatic installation progress screen. Setting this
field when not in installation mode (boottotool was set on
the previous guest boot) has no effect.
Users: sparmaintainer@unisys.com
What: install/boottotool
Date: 7/18/2014
KernelVersion: TBD
Contact: sparmaintainer@unisys.com
Description: The boottotool flag controls s-Par behavior on the next boot of
this guest. Setting the flag will cause the guest to boot from
the utility and installation image, which will use the value in
the toolaction field to determine what operation is being
requested.

Description: This field is used to tell s-Par which type of recovery tool
action to perform on the next guest boot-up. The meaning of the
value is dependent on the type of installation software used to
commission the guest.

KernelVersion: TBD
Contact: sparmaintainer@unisys.com
Description: This entry is used by Unisys application software on the guest
to acknowledge completion of specific events for integration
purposes, but these acknowledgements are not required for the
guest to operate correctly. The interface accepts one of two
strings: MODULES_LOADED to indicate that the s-Par driver
modules have been loaded successfully, or CALLHOMEDISK_MOUNTED,
which indicates that the disk used to support call home services
has been successfully mounted.

What: parahotplug/deviceenabled
Date: 7/18/2014
KernelVersion: TBD
Contact: sparmaintainer@unisys.com
Description: This entry is used by a Unisys support script installed on the
guest, and triggered by a udev event. The support script is
responsible for enabling and disabling SR-IOV devices when the
PF device is being recovered in another guest.
Some SR-IOV devices have problems when the PF is reset without
first disabling all VFs attached to that PF. s-Par handles this
situation by sending a message to guests using these VFs, and
the script will disable the device. When the PF is recovered,
another message is sent to the guests to re-enable the VFs.
The parahotplug/deviceenabled interface is used to acknowledge
the recovery message.
