Equallogic HIT kit for Linux (equallogic-host-tools-1.2.0-2.el6.x86_64)

Hi all,

A month ago I deployed some oracle DB with oracle linux 6.3 using Equallogic(ps6000e) array as a storage, I install HIT kit with out any issue and mount volume also without any problem.

From yesterday I start building another environment with same software and hardware but I have a problem adding equallogic group with  rswcl and it gives some error related with iscsi initiator, I contact dell support Japan but no help.

I go through one by one with my last deployment and current deployment and I find out the problem. The problem is iscsi-initiator-utils.x86_64 version. HIT kit only work up to 6.2.0.872-41.0.1.el6 version but when we run install script for HIT kit it will automatically install newer version of iscsi-initiator-utils, which is 6.2.0.873-2.0.1.el6. So I did manual installation of iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-41.0.1.el6.x86_64 this version and install HIT everything works fine.

The biggest problem is HIT kit package itself install newer version of iscsi utils and not work later, so dell need to fix this rather stick with supported version or find the fix for new version

Do any one have any idea is there any fix with new version other wish, if any one update RHEL 6 Centos 6 and oracle linux 6 might have this issue.
