Hi, All, We are testing to upgrade our clients to new RHEL 7.3 kernel with GPFS 4.2.1.0. When we have 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7, installing the gplbin has the following errors:
# ./mmbuildgpl --build-package -v # cd /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ # rpm -ivh gpfs.gplbin-3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64-4.2.1-0.x86_64.rpm Running transaction Installing : gpfs.gplbin-3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64-4.2.1-0.x86_64 1/1 depmod: ERROR: fstatat(4, mmfs26.ko): No such file or directory depmod: ERROR: fstatat(4, mmfslinux.ko): No such file or directory depmod: ERROR: fstatat(4, tracedev.ko): No such file or directory depmod -a also show the three kernel extension not found. However, in the following directory, they are there. # pwd /lib/modules/3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64/extra # ls kernel mmfs26.ko mmfslinux.ko tracedev.ko The error does not show in a slightly older kernel -3.10.0-514.21.2 version. From https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STXKQY/gpfsclustersfaq.html Table 29<https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STXKQY/gpfsclustersfaq.html%20Table%2029>, both versions should be supported. RHEL Distribution Latest Kernel Level Tested1 Minimum Kernel Level Required2 Minimum IBM Spectrum Scale Level Tested3 Minimum IBM Spectrum Scale Level Supported4 7.3 3.10.0-514 3.10.0-514 V4.1.1.11/V4.2.2.1 V4.1.1.11/V4.2.1.2 For technical reasons, this test node will not be added to production. A previous thread http://www.spectrumscale.org/pipermail/gpfsug-discuss/2016-April/001529.html indicated that this will be OK. However, it is better to get a clear conclusion before we update other client nodes. Shall we recompile the kernel? Thanks all.
