Hi Everyone

I'm dealing with an issue to install mhVTL on Oracle Linux 5.9, my current operating system. My goal is to install Oracle Secure Backup once that mhVTL is running.

According to the the link https://sites.google.com/site/linuxvtl2, I have followd this steps:
1.- rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
2.- rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release...epo.noarch.rpm
3.- rpm -Uhv http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-x86_64/atrp...el5.x86_64.rpm
* NOTE: By default, the liblzo2_2 is not installed and my box doesn't have a repository to find it. For this reason I have installed this rpm file that let my box access a repository with the liblzo2_2 lib
4.- yum yum install liblzo2_2
5. sudo yum install mhvtl-utils kmod-mhvtl

After running all this steps, I get the following message if I perform /etc/init.d/mhvtl start:
/etc/init.d/mhvtl start
FATAL: Module mhvtl not found.
No kernel module loaded to feed these daemons.

Need mhvtl kernel module version at least 0.18.11

Did you remember to compile the 'mhvtl' kernel module ?

Please see http://sites.google.com/site/linuxvtl2/


According to this message, I understand, that I haven't install the kernel, so I have downloaded and uncompressed the mhvtl-2013-10-20.tgz file but with no success
1. tar xvzf mhvtl-2013-10-20
2. mhvtl-1.4
3. cd kernel
4. # make

Output:
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.39-400.211.3.el5uek/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/mhvtl-1.4/kernel modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.39-400.211.3.el5uek/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [default] Error 2

does someone have a tip to help me with this issue?

Thank you in advance

i take it you are not aware that these repos are incompatible
and incompatible with the base install and updates
( and that 5.10 is the current in the old rhel5 series)

did you install and CONFIGURE " yum-priorities" plugin
otherwise ATrpm will "FUBAR" the system


on rhel5 you use ONLY ATRPM and NO OTHER - not even the updates - you get updates from ATrpm
or you lock rpms using the yum-priorities plugin and be VERY VERY VERY careful !!!

First of all: Thank you very much for your support.

Second: As you say, I'm not aware about that incompatibles. I decide to use atrpm because the system misses the liblzo2_2 to execute the following command: yum install mhvtl-utils kmod-mhvtl. With the current repos that I have on Oracle Linux 5.9, it's not possible to install this package.

I'll try to find this days a new approach to get the liblxo2_2 package. In any case, neither I aware about configuring "yum priorities". As you recommend me, I'll take a look.

Regarding to your advise, what I'm doing is only for a test environment and I'm working with a virtual machine. In case of problems, I can always restore the snapshot :-)

Thanks for your support and your time.

Best regards, merry xmas and happy new year

the centos wiki page on the yum plugin

http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities

but on a server it might be BETTER to use "protect-base"
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManage...um/ProtectBase

protect base will protect the operating system from having critical SYSTEM files replaced by ATrpm versions

this was a VERY BIG problem on the old 5 series , and is mostly fixed in rhel6
