RHEL 5.6 Data Exchange integration service

Unanswered RHEL 5.6 Data Exchange integration service

    I'm getting Hyper-V-Integration event logs every 5 minutes from a RHEL 5.6 running IC 2.1:

    'LGIIB4002': The Data Exchange integration service is either not enabled, not running or not initialized. (Virtual machine ID 54E7C9AE-9A7C-4905-BE88-C834681DAD73)

    It's not completely clear from the Linux Integration Services 2.1 for Hyper-V read me, but I believe the following aren't supported by Linux IC 2.1:

    - Data Exchange
    - Backup (volume snapshot)

    I've disabled them from being offered to the VM in the Integration Services portion of the VM Settings. The event entry persists regardless.

    Between this and another IC issue after upgrading kernels, I am very close to giving up on Linux workloads on Hyper-V and going to XenServer. I know you've made some good progress via RPM installation w/ IC 3.2 however it's not supported with RHEL5 (why not? It's supported by RH until 2017 ) .

    Joel.

    Hi,
     
    This forum is dedicated for Linux Integration Services for Microsoft Hyper-V, so I moved you post here.

    The implementation of KVP we have for RHEL 6 will not work with RHEL 5 due to the lack of proper UTF-16 support in the kernel.

    We're very much aware of the pain of not having RPM's for RHEL 5 guests. Have you looked at the workaround using DKMS detailed in the following KB article?http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2387594

    I'll take a look at one of my RHEL 5 VM's and the event log entries as well, and I'll reply back to this thread later.

    I've created a CentOS 5.7 VM and installed Linux Integration Services v2.1. I'm monitoring the Microsoft:Windows:Hyper-V-Integration Event Viewer entry, but I'm not seeing any notifications, even if I disable them being offered.

    Where are you seeing the messages being logged?

    Hi Mike.

    Thanks for your help.

    The messages are being logged in the Application and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V-Integration\Admin log name. I have another RHEL 5.5 machine w/ the VM configured to offer the services and it does not create these event logs.

    Yes, I have tried using DKMS with varied success. Most recently I ran updated a box and RHEL 5.8 came down with kernel 2.6.18-308.el5.

    Here what I did before the kernel upgrade:

    cd /root
wget http://linux.dell.com/dkms/permalink/dkms-2.1.1.2-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh dkms-2.1.1.2-1.noarch.rpm
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom/
cp -R /media/cdrom/ /usr/src/linuxic-2.1
cp /usr/src/linuxic-2.1/scripts/dkms.conf /usr/src/linuxic-2.1/
cp /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf120221
echo alias scsi_hostadapter1 vmbus >> /etc/modprobe.conf
echo alias scsi_hostadapter2 blkvsc >> /etc/modprobe.conf
echo alias scsi_hostadapter3 storvsc >> /etc/modprobe.conf
echo alias scsi_hostadapter4 netvsc >> /etc/modprobe.conf
dkms add -m linuxic -v 2.1
dkms build -m linuxic -v 2.1
dkms install --force -m linuxic -v 2.1
reboot

    Next, I updated the kernel:

    yum update kernel -y

WARNING: No module vmbus found for kernel 2.6.18-308.el5, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module blkvsc found for kernel 2.6.18-308.el5, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module storvsc found for kernel 2.6.18-308.el5, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module netvsc found for kernel 2.6.18-308.el5, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module blkvsc found for kernel 2.6.18-308.el5, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module storvsc found for kernel 2.6.18-308.el5, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module netvsc found for kernel 2.6.18-308.el5, continuing anyway


Installed:
  kernel.i686 0:2.6.18-308.el5        kernel-devel.i686 0:2.6.18-308.el5

    Upon reboot I got a kernel panic. I rebooted and then selected the old kernel in GRUB which booted up again.

    Does the DKMS process support this kernel? Does it need to be updated each time there is a new kernel released? If so what is the latest RHEL kernel that IS supported?

    Thanks,
    Joel.

    Those steps should suffice.  I'll check with my test team to see if this is a known issue.
