We are running RHEL 4 on a couple of blade servers (BL20p G3) that are running Proliant-Supp Pack 7.80.
Until now I never considered performing a kernel update...I was wondering if I'm going to break my kernel modules (ethernet driver, qlogic hba drivers provided by PSP etc) by upgrading the kernel? The major & minor version stays the same: 2.6.9
These modules were compiled from source as I understand and I had to install kernel source pacakges when I installed them thru PSP...).
Please share your experiences.
Thanks,
Jorge

SolutionNo matter that major and minor version is the same on both kernels, there can be many changes, related to drivers, included in PSP.

Re: PSP & kernel upgrade
Is it a matter of running PSP again and select the rpm's I want to install/reinstall? Should I remove the pertinent rpms before?
Best regards,
Jorge

Re: PSP & kernel upgrade
# if the package version is greater than the installed
# version then do the RPM install.
./vercmp ${curver%%\.[A-Za-z]*} ${newver%%\.[A-Za-z]*} > /dev/null 2>&1
isVersionNewer=$?
[ $isVersionNewer -eq 1 ] && installRPM=`expr 1`
# if installRPM is equal to one, then installation
# proceeds, else skip installation
if [ $installRPM -eq 1 ]
then
rpm -Uv --nodeps --force $i >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
If version is newer - it will be updated.

ivan
