PowerPath 6.3 not loading on newer RHEL 7 kernels

Question

kernel 3.10.0-862.* fails kernel 3.10.0-693.* works Errors I'm getting: # systemctl start PowerPath Job for PowerPath.service canceled. # /usr/lib/PowerPath/PowerPath start Starting PowerPath: PowerPath could not load module emcp Error loading PowerPath kernel modules failed

Hi hudsterboy - the reason the kernel 3.10.0-862.* fails is that it is included with RHEL 7.5 release, which is not supported on PowerPath 6.3 for Linux. For RHEL 7.5 support you will need PowerPath 6.4 for Linux, which is due out later this month.

Hi Drew - you can check the E-Lab Navigator to see if your specific configuration is supported before you upgrade

And, the PowerPath 6.4 for Linux release is out now, check out: https://support.emc.com/products/1742_PowerPath-for-Linux for more information and downloads
