Hi,

I'm seeing a problem with vxportal kernel module failing to load upon boot after upgrading RHEL 6.1 to 6.3. SFHA is on 6.0.

I found a technote (http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH171002) but it does not seem to be this RHEL bug.

I've noticed that no vxfs related modules where transferred to /lib/modules/2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64/veritas/vxfs, they are however present in the previous kernel (131). I tried to copy the modules and rebuild the modules.dep file, but still when running /etc/init.d/vxfs start, I get;

Error in loading module "vxfs". See documentation.
Failed to create /dev/vxportal
ERROR: Module fdd does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module vxportal does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module vxfs does not exist in /proc/modules

So, either something went wrong during the RHEL upgrade (vxfs modules were not handled), or vxfs has a problem with RHEL 6.3.

All other modules, such as vxio, vxdmp loads fine;

vxspec                  3398  8
vxio                 3714530  1 vxspec
vxdmp                 404274  12 vxspec,vxio

So, I tried to apply 6.0RP1, but the vxfs patch fails, and all other patches are successfully applied.

The following patches were installed on traci:

        VRTSvxvm
        VRTSob
        VRTSfsadv
        VRTSamf
        VRTSvcs
        VRTSvbs
        VRTSsfcpi60

The following patches failed to install on traci:

        VRTSvxfs

So, my question is if anyone of you have experienced this issue? Or am I to open a support case for a new issue?
