HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.1.1 for Linux Installation Guide (May 2006)

Appendix A: Install the SLES9 Operating System and Kernel 45
# rpm -i <mountpoint>/<os>/<wordsize>/mxfs-patches-3.1.x-
<xxxx>.i386.rpm
4. Compile the Kernel and Reboot
Following is a suggested procedure that you can use as a guide for
building the kernel. Modify this procedure as necessary for your local
circumstances.
NOTE: If the servers have identical hardware configurations, you can
create the kernel on one server and then copy it to the other
servers.
1. Go to the /usr/src/linux directory on the server and run the make
mrproper command.
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make mrproper
2. The Clustered File System Support RPM includes sample
configuration files that are recommended for use with the Linux
kernel and Clustered File System. The files are based on the
configuration files included with the SLES9 binary kernel and are
placed in the directory /usr/src/polyserve/<kernel>/configs.
The files for the 32-bit kernel are as follows:
• ps_config.default. The standard kernel.
• ps_config.smp. Kernel with multiprocessor support.
• ps_config.bigsmp. Kernel with support for SMP and large memory.
• ps_config.debug. Debug version of the kernel.
The files for the 64-bit kernel are as follows:
• ps_config.default. The standard kernel.
• ps_config.smp. Kernel with multiprocessor support.
If you want to use a sample file, copy the variation appropriate for
your server.
# cp /usr/src/polyserve/<kernel>/configs/<config_file>
/usr/src/linux/.config
