Help with Azure Mobility Service - Linux

Hi. I am using Azure Site Recovery Services and I have downloaded the Suse Linux mobility service files (Microsoft-ASR_UA_8.4.0.0_SLES11-SP3-64_GA_28Jul2015_release.tar) and installed the pack.
There are two modules (involflt and linvsnap) that are failing to load. “dmesg” shows “disagrees about version of symbol module_layout”. These two modules are showing version 3.0.76-0.11-default, while my SUSE version 11 patch 3 other modules show 3.0.95-0.5-default.
I tried to load it manually with insmod -f but this fails.

Thanks in advance

Hi
So what kernel are you running;

uname -a
modinfo involflt
modinfo <one of the modules that loads>

I would imagine it’s a kernel mismatch with the modules compared to the
kernel your running from the output of uname -a.

Maybe the folks that created the tarball need to update to your running
kernel version.

Hi
So looks like you need to ask them to provide modules (vermagic) to match your running kernel, since it’s a proprietary licensed module.

Or you could try them as weak updates?

cd /lib/modules/3.0.93-0.5-default/
mkdir -p weak-updates/updates
cp /lib/modules/3.0.93-0.5-default/kernel/drivers/char/involflt.ko weak-updates/updatesr/involflt.ko

Do the same with the other one, then remove them from the installed location, then see if they modprobe (may need a restart). If that fails rollback and contact Azure…
