VMware Datarecovery Kernel Panic possible solution
Since May ( Post ) I was facing multiple Kernel panic’s in my VDR appliance. Now I got something like a fix which is running quite smooth in my environment.
Steps:
- Deploy a new VDR 2.0 appliance
- SSH in or log into the console (root/vmw@re) 3. Install this kernel.
rpm -i http://elrepo.org/linux/kernel/el5/x86_64/RPMS/kernel-ml-2.6.39-4.1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm - Set the kernel as the default one. (You can manually select this one at. The command just sets grub to boot the first kernel in the list) sed -i ‘s/default=1/default=0/’ /boot/grub/menu.lst 5. Reboot.
- Confirm we are running on the new kernel # uname -r 2.6.39-4.1.el5.elrepo
Give it a try and if possible provide me with your experiences.
