PATCH ID:6.0.100.100 2907912 (2907908) gms rpm installation on SLES11 SP2 fails with error modules are not suitable for kernel SUMMARY OF KNOWN ISSUES: ----------------------------------------- NONE KNOWN ISSUES : -------------- NONE FIXED INCIDENTS: ---------------- PATCH ID:6.0.400.000 * INCIDENT NO:3248958 TRACKING ID:3248953 SYMPTOM: Support for SLES11 SP3 was not present on GMS DESCRIPTION: Support for SLES11 SP3 was not present on GMS RESOLUTION: Support for SLES11 SP3 is now added for GMS . * INCIDENT NO:3271682 TRACKING ID:3268908 SYMPTOM: Module load failing on sles11 sp2/sp3, DESCRIPTION: sles11 sp2 having higher kernel version than sp3, module installation failing since our installer script checks for version near to highest version on the target machine, if unable to load highest version module, then give up. RESOLUTION: Now if our installer is unable to load highest kernel version(incompatible) matching to target, it checks for lower version also until it got installed any module or exhausted the list of incompatible modules. This will work for all linux distros. PATCH ID:6.0.100.100 * INCIDENT NO:2907912 TRACKING ID:2907908 SYMPTOM: VxFS and VxVM components fail to install post SLES11SP2 GA kernel versions (below mentioned kernel versions) 3.0.26-0.7.6 3.0.31-0.9.1 3.0.34-0.7.9 3.0.38-0.5.1 DESCRIPTION: Starting from 3.0 kernel onwards, the 3.0+ kernel versions have 3 numbers whereas 2.6 kernel versions had 4 numbers. It turns out that the logic to look at first 3 digits as the 'kern_major' needs to be updated to work for 3.0.* kernel versions and subsequently for SLES11SP2 new kernel RESOLUTION: Changed the code to look at only first 2 digits as the 'kern_major' for 3.0.* kernel versions INCIDENTS FROM OLD PATCHES: --------------------------- NONE
