HI

Try to build it with SAM
# sam
and look for the branch to build kernel else if don't work
run mk_kernel manually and create the kernel

Good luck

Hi Boukari,

Thanks for the replies.
B.11.23 integrity

Actually we had upgraded FC card driver.After rebooting swlist shows the latest driver version but fcmsutil doesnot.So we have opened a case with HP support and according to them kernel rebuild was not proper.Now we are in process of rebuilding the kernel.i know the command is mk_kernel and wanted to know how it exactly works.I surfed in man page but did not get much details.

#cd /stand
#cp vmunix vmunix.old
#cp system system.old
#cd build

#this is the changed line.
#/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system ( will be created in pwd i.e. build )

Edit system file and make changes here as per requirement. I mean addition/Deletion of devices ( if needed ).
Then
#mk_kernel -s system
For more information see the man page of mk_kernel

Now one new kernel will be created in /stand/build directory. Copy this to original location
#cd /stand/build
#cp vmunix_test /stand/vmunix
#cp system /stand
