Error trying to import kernel parameters

[jodymckinzie]

Okay, I have prod servers in one data center and HPVM guests for  DR in another DC.

I am trying to export the kernel configs from production and import them to the HPVM guests for DR purposes.

I am getting this error:

ERROR:   The configuration is supposed to include a module 'ktap', which
         is not available because its file has been removed from disk.

Any ideas?

Shalom,

Thanks for posting the error. Can you post the command you used and the OS (uname -a).

I used kconfig -e to export the prod version and kconfig -i to inport the kernel config on the DR side.

HP-UX hostname B.11.31 U ia64 1701976858 unlimited-user license

This is identical on both servers.

Thanks in advance.

Shalom again.

I suggest you edit the file and remove the offending kernel parameter. This may have already been done.

Looks like actually something is missing. If retrying the kconfig -e won't work then I suggest filing a bug report with HP.

swlist -l bundle | egrep -i "OE|QPK"

Please post the above swlist output.

Shalom again,

You are pretty up to date on OE and Quality Packs.

Try the process again with the -v command line parameter.

Perhaps making the application talk will be helpful.

Regards,

Steven

Do you have /usr/conf/mod/ktap on any of your machines?  (It's not on mine.)

[jodymckinzie · Accepted solution]

Dennis, that was it.

FIX: rsync /usr/conf/mod/ktap from PROD server to DR (From DR server)

EX:

/usr/local/bin/rsync -av -x prod_server:/usr/conf/mod/ktap /usr/conf/mod/ktap
