SLES9SP1 + cpq_cciss-2.6.2-11 unsupported?

[eduardo_41]

Hi,

I'm installing a new Proliant DL380 G3 with SLES9 SP1, for Oracle 10g.

I've installed SLES9, SP1 and the Proliant Support Pack 7.20 (lastest release).

Only one component was not installed, the "Proliant Linux (x86) driver for Smart Array 6i, 64xx, 5i, 53xx".

The error message was: "The running kernel (2.6.5-7.139-bigsmp) is not supported".

The kernel was updated because the SLES9SP1, which is needed for Oracle 10g.

How can I install the cciss driver???

Thanks,
Eduardo

Hi Eduardo,

Make sure that the kernel-source package that correspond to your running kernel (uname -r) is installed.
As far as I know, the CCISS driver should be recompiled 'on the fly' and installed.

Good lcuk

Thanks for reply.

The kernel source is there.

When I run the RPM it say:
--
Preparing to install ProLiant Linux (x86) driver for Smart Array 6i, 64xx, 5i, 53xx Series controllers for LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (x86) v2.6.2-11

This kernel (2.6.5-7.139) is the SLES9SP1 kernel...

Hi,

i had this issue to on a PL 360 G3 and G4.
I seems that the PSP 7.20 has no official support for the SLES 9 SP1 kernel (2.6.5-7.139). The reason may be that the SP1 release was to short before the PSP 7.20 release.
Anyway, if the driver from HP is not installed during PSP setup, you are simply using the drivers from the SLES 9 SP1 kernel (not sure which version, try "modinfo cciss"). I had no problems with this driver, also the agents and the array tools seems to work well.
