This bug reported looks similar to
Bug 191386 - [Regression] RHEL8.3 zstream - drmgr command failing
(DLPAR) (powerpc-utils?)
which was due to older version of drmgr having been bundled in the
pvm-core package rather than using the provided 1.3.6 version that
came with RHEL.
Here on the Ubuntu 20.04LTS we have the same binary for drmgr...
neo at novap9zz:~$ whereis drmgr
drmgr: /usr/sbin/drmgr /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
neo at novap9zz:~$ md5sum /usr/sbin/drmgr /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
c7863c699a2761567ae9d9b75dcc7854 /usr/sbin/drmgr
c7863c699a2761567ae9d9b75dcc7854 /usr/local/sbin/drmgr
yet according to the list of packages installed, is based on a fairly
older version of powerpc-utils-1.3.4-0ubuntu2 which is still the
latest available for 20.04 LTS. Current versions of Ubuntu provide
version 1.3.10-2
Assigning to Nathan to review and see which changes might be missing
in order to resolve this. I'll also attach a sosreport collected from
the LPAR...

The issues mentioned here is after using default drmgr provided by OS.
Yes we saw similar issues and fix has been provided for RHEL, which If i am not wrong was with socat as well.

I can't figure out what's wrong with my current permissions.
Is there a root password for that NovaLink partition? That would help
me look at what the utilities are doing under the hood.

The powerpc-utils metapackage pulls in the appropriate tools for each

I see that 22.04 ("Jammy Jellyfish") packages powerpc-utils 1.3.9, but
that 20.04 (Focal Fossa) is still packaging 1.3.4.
Is there a protocol for advancing the packaged version in upstream for
a given release?

To be perfectly clear: powerpc-utils 1.3.4 was tagged Sep 1 2017:
https://github.com/ibm-power-utilities/powerpc-
utils/commit/2e26d2996789a1e61dd0a872f579dc5768128836
I suspect many bugs have been fixed in the interim.

What do you mean by "plan"?
The problem is that the distribution is packaging an ancient release
of powerpc-utils. They need to package a newer release.
Who on the NovaLink team is responsible for coordinating dependencies
with Ubuntu packaging? That person needs to reach out to the person
on the Ubuntu side responsible for packaging powerpc-utils and ask
them to package powerpc-utils 1.3.9, if not 1.3.10, as they do for all
later OS releases.

Alternatively, you could upgrade the release to 22.04.2, which
packages a newer release of powerpc-utils.

I built powerpc-utils 1.3.11 on the partition in:

The drmgr binary I built can also remove vty-server slots:

So, I think the newer powerpc-utils release may help to resolve the
problem here.
