This is how we do the patching: Yes, we do patch using YUM. The custom script that we use for RHEL patch has already mkinitrd with ‘zfcp’ module loaded along with scsi_mod & sd_mod modules for SAN attached servers.
1. YUM upgrade 2. mkinitrd -v --with=scsi_mod --with=zfcp --with=sd_mod initrd-$NEWKERN.img $NEWKERN 3. zipl 4. Server reboot Thanks Scott -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Offer Baruch Sent: Monday, June 22, 2015 12:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Losing SAN Adapters with RHEL5 servers after patching It sounds like that the initrd being build by the patch is missing the zfcp module... How are you patching? Yum? I think that it might help to add the zfcp module to the /etc/sysconfig/kernel file. There should be a parameter to state which modules should be added to the initrd file automatically. Something like INITRD_MODULES=... Just add the zfcp module. I would also verify you have it in /etc/modprobe.conf Hope this helps...
