Problems Reinstalling serviceguard for linux A.11.16

[Serviceguard for Linux]

I hope I may be on track with this question. (and sorry for previous comment).

When you upgraded the kernel did you also upgrade kernel-devel? I think this is the most critical. Other related question is did you install any kernel src or source packages?

One way to get more help on this is to run

# rpm -qa | fgrep kernel > itrc_kernel

and then post that file.

This seems to still all be related to the fact that the deadman driver & pidentd aren't being made correctly.

Hello

I think i did upgrade the kernel-devel and i have not installed any kernel src package.

this is the output i obtained after running the command:

[root@bcluster march18]# rpm -qa |fgrep kernel >itrc_kernel
[root@bcluster march18]# ls
itrc_kernel
[root@bcluster march18]# vi itrc_kernel
kernel-doc-2.6.9-5.EL
kernel-hugemem-devel-2.6.9-5.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.48
kernel-devel-2.6.9-67.EL
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-5.EL
kernel-2.6.9-67.EL
kernel-smp-2.6.9-67.EL

What do you think about that?

[Serviceguard for Linux]

Another guess. Notice that kernel-smp-devel is not at teh same level as kernel-smp.

That is certainly worth a quick try.

By teh way, if you have support, this is definitely worth logging a call.

Thank four your help

Do you think updating kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-5.EL to version 2.6.9-5.EL could solve the problem?

[Serviceguard for Linux · Accepted solution]

I think you had a typo.

Try updating kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-5.EL to kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-67.EL. Certainly worth a try - right?

[Matti_Kurkela]

"Worth a try" is definitely an understatement - if you're using a SMP kernel with ServiceGuard, you *must* install the kernel-smp-devel package matching your kernel version.

Thanks to both of you.
The problem was related indeed to the fact that kernel-SMP and kernel-SMP-devel were not updated at the same level. After updating the two modules to version 2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp i was able to successfully carry the installation of identd and serviceguard and to start the identd service on one node.
I am about to do the same thing on the second one.
I think from now on things will go on smoothly.
Thank you VERY MUCH!! Matti and Mr "Serviceguard" for your precious support.

After the last two advices i was able to solve the problem i had installing serviceguard. I am yet to configure it again
