HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.1.1p1 Linux Edition Upgrade Guide (February 2006)

Appendix A: Rebuilding the SLES9 Kernel 12
# rpm -i mxfs-patches-3.1.x-<xxxx>.x86_64.rpm
3. 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 HP Clustered File System Support RPM includes sample
configuration files that are recommended for use with the Linux
kernel and HP 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/hpcfs/<kernel>/configs.
The files are as follows:
• ps_config.default. The standard kernel.
• ps_config.smp. Kernel with multiprocessor support.
The HP Clustered File System requires the ps_config.smp
configuration file.
# cp /usr/src/hpcfs/<kernel>/configs/ps_config.smp
/usr/src/linux/.config
NOTE: Do not change the CONFIG_CFGNAME parameter in your
configuration file. HP Clustered File System requires that the
default value be used.
Also, if you are using a configuration file that was not supplied
in the Support RPM, be sure that the following parameter is set
to yes. This parameter enables the Linux
SCSI subsystem to
probe for
LUNs on SAN devices.
