Hi,
I'm seeing a problem with vxportal kernel module failing to load upon boot after upgrading RHEL 6.1 to 6.3. SFHA is on 6.0.
I found a technote (http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH171002) but it does not seem to be this RHEL bug.
I've noticed that no vxfs related modules where transferred to /lib/modules/2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64/veritas/vxfs, they are however present in the previous kernel (131). I tried to copy the modules and rebuild the modules.dep file, but still when running /etc/init.d/vxfs start, I get;
Error in loading module "vxfs". See documentation. Failed to create /dev/vxportal ERROR: Module fdd does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module vxportal does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module vxfs does not exist in /proc/modules
So, either something went wrong during the RHEL upgrade (vxfs modules were not handled), or vxfs has a problem with RHEL 6.3.
All other modules, such as vxio, vxdmp loads fine;
vxspec 3398 8 vxio 3714530 1 vxspec vxdmp 404274 12 vxspec,vxio
So, I tried to apply 6.0RP1, but the vxfs patch fails, and all other patches are successfully applied.
The following patches were installed on traci: VRTSvxvm VRTSob VRTSfsadv VRTSamf VRTSvcs VRTSvbs VRTSsfcpi60 The following patches failed to install on traci: VRTSvxfs
So, my question is if anyone of you have experienced this issue? Or am I to open a support case for a new issue?

Hi,
SFHA 6.0 is not compatible with RHEL 6.3 due to a symbol changes, please see the late breaking news technote below:
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH164885
This should be resolved in SFHA 6.0.1, which should release in September timeframe
cheers
