PowerPath 5.1 on RHEL 4 u6, does not start

Hi all,

This is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 6)/ELlargesmp kernel, I am able to download EMCPower.LINUX.5.1.0.Patch.b194.tar.gz and install EMCpower.LINUX-5.1.0-194.rhel.x86_64.rpm successfully.

However when trying to start the service I get the following error:
# service PowerPath start
Starting PowerPath: This package requires RedHat RHEL4.
failed

System output:
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 6)

# uname -a
Linux hostname 2.6.9-67.ELlargesmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 7 14:07:22 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I guess this may be some weird error when trying to get the service started, if so... is there any patch/modification available to get it working properly? Also, the /etc/modprobe.conf file is not being modified as it should, there is no /etc/modprobe.conf.pp file around.

Thank you.

i have an exact same configuration as your system and exact same version of PP working fine one my box.

# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 tg3
alias eth1 tg3
alias scsi_hostadapter cciss
alias scsi_hostadapter1 ata_piix
alias scsi_hostadapter2 lpfc
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias scsi_hostadapter3 lpfc
options scsi_mod max_luns=256
install lpfcdfc /sbin/modprobe lpfc && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lpfcdfc
###BEGINPP
include /etc/modprobe.conf.pp
###ENDPP

is it safe to assume that you ran "rpm -ivh EMCpower.LINUX-5.1.0-194.rhel5.x86_64.rpm" as root ?

your system is 64 bit. Are you sure you have choosen the x86_64.rpm like the one below.

EMCpower.LINUX-5.0.0-157.rhel.x86_64.rpm
