[gpfsug-discuss] make InstallImages errors

Did you do a kernel upgrade as well?

I've seen similar when you get dangling symlinks in the weak updates kernel module directory.

Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] make InstallImages errors

Hi All,

We have a small test cluster that I am upgrading from GPFS 4.1.0.8 (efix21) to GPFS 4.2.0.2.  I noticed that on 2 of my 3 NSD servers I received the following errors:

/usr/lpp/mmfs/src
root at testnsd3# make InstallImages
(cd gpl-linux; /usr/bin/make InstallImages; \
exit $?) || exit 1
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/lpp/mmfs/src/gpl-linux'
Pre-kbuild step 1...
depmod: ERROR: fstatat(4, mmfs26.ko): No such file or directory
depmod: ERROR: fstatat(4, mmfslinux.ko): No such file or directory
depmod: ERROR: fstatat(4, tracedev.ko): No such file or directory
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/lpp/mmfs/src/gpl-linux'
/usr/lpp/mmfs/src
root at testnsd3#

However, they don’t seem to actually impact anything … i.e. GPFS starts up just fine on the box and the upgrade is apparently successful:

/root
root at testnsd3# mmgetstate

 Node number  Node name        GPFS state
------------------------------------------
       3      testnsd3         active
/root
root at testnsd3# mmdiag --version

=== mmdiag: version ===
Current GPFS build: "4.2.0.2 ".

So just to satisfy my own curiosity, has anyone else seen this and can anybody explain what that’s all about?  OS is latest CentOS 7, BTW.  Thanks…

Kevin
