RHEL 10 compatibility: tcl scripts missing, package install failures

[sayalibhavsar]

Problem

hammerdb-wrapper v2.6 is not compatible with RHEL 10.x. Multiple failures occur when running hammerdb_mariadb, hammerdb_postgres, and hammerdb_mssql on RHEL 10.3 Beta VHD images (Azure, Standard_D64s_v5).

Errors

hammerdb_mariadb

/bin/dnf install of mariadb failed
Package installation of hammerdb_mariadb.json, using /root/test_tools/package_tool was unsuccessful.

6 validation errors for list[Hammerdb_Results]

  Input should be a valid integer [type=int_type, input_value=None, input_type=NoneType]

Root Cause

1. The wrapper's package install check reports failure even when packages are pre-installed in the image (running with --no_system_packages)
2. build_mariadb.tcl, build_pg.tcl, runtest_mariadb.tcl, runtest_pg.tcl are missing — the wrapper expects these files in the current directory but HammerDB's directory layout has changed
3. Database services fail to start on RHEL 10.3 (see separate issues for details)
4. All user runs (10/20/40) execute against no running database, producing TPM=None and failing schema validation

Environment

• RHEL 10.3 Beta (Coughlan), kernel 6.12.0-238.el10.x86_64
• Azure Standard_D64s_v5 (64 vCPU, 256 GB RAM, 2 NUMA nodes)
• hammerdb-wrapper v2.6
• HammerDB 3.2
• zathras with --no_system_packages

Note

PR #56 ("Install update") appears to partially address this by adding new tcl scripts and downloading HammerDB from GitHub instead of requiring local kit uploads. However it has not been merged yet and targets RHEL 9, not RHEL 10.
