The currently running kernel (2.6.18-194.3.1.el5xen) is not supported by this rpm.
I see in the list of supported versions the 2.6.18-194.el5xen.
Is there a way to coax HP SUM into believing this minor mod to the kernel version is ok to install on? Can I tell HP SUM to override the check?
Or is there something else I should be doing?
On the other hand, is there a way these kits could be built so that minor updates to the kernel version are accepted automatically?
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionThe issue isn't with HPSUM. The issue is the individual RPMs you mention do not support that kernel. If you execute the RPMs outside of HPSUM, you will receive the same errors and the RPM will not install. Because many driver RPMs are pre-compiled binaries, as new kernels are released, newer versions of the driver RPMs are required (or you can use the one compiled into the kernel) that have new pre-compiled binaries for those new kernels. For FC drivers, starting with RHEL 5.3, the recommendation is to use the one in the kernel. The RPMs are still included in the PSP for users who still are on older distros.
I would not recommend forcing the installation of the RPMs as they will most likely not work with the latest kernels and could cause kernel panics.

Re: HP PSP 8.4* installs fail "currently running kernel (xxx) is not supported by this rpm"
2.6.16.60-0.34
2.6.16.60-0.37_f594963d
2.6.16.60-0.39.3
2.6.16.60-0.54.5
2.6.16.60-0.57.1
2.6.16.60-0.58.1
2.6.16.60-0.66.1
If you have SLES 10 SP3, then the kernel should be one of:
SP3-Oct-2009 2.6.16.60-0.54.5
Nov-12-2009 2.6.16.60-0.57.1
Dec-14-2009 2.6.16.60-0.58.1
Jan-22-2010 2.6.16.60-0.59.1
Mar-29-2010 2.6.16.60-0.60.1
Apr-26-2010 2.6.16.60-0.62.1 (x86_64 only)
Jun-11-2010 2.6.16.60-0.66.1
Aug-17-2010 2.6.16.60-0.67.1
Sep-03-2010 2.6.16.60-0.68.1
Sep-22-2010 2.6.16.60-0.69.1
So you have perhaps at best a 40% chance of getting the psp to install agents/drivers, more like a 0% chance if you keep your kernel up-to-date with security patches etc.
(If you still have older SLES 10 SP2, then there's about 17 kernel possibilities, 3 of which are supported, not including the latest 6 kernels released after May 2009)
So if you do have, for example, the latest SLES 10 SP2 and want to install the psp, you can apply SLES 10 SP3 with no further patches, then should be able to install the psp. What happens after that when you install a current kernel update?
