Description of problem:
- yum update fails on updating kmod-bnx2x as I believe kmod-cnic does not have an upgraded package, despite kmod-bnx2x having an update.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer's results below (Note: custom repo's are newest released errata added each month. We've replicated it on a system not on a satellite to confirm the same issue exists outside of this environment):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: Package: kmod-cnic-2.5.10.32.269-1.el6_2.x86_64 (@rhel6.7-x86_64)

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- Customer ran into it on a 6.7-6.8 upgrade, but replicated on a 6.7 box just simply installing kmod-bnx2x (see below)
How reproducible:
- yum install of kmod-cnic the first time pulls in old versions of kmod-bnx2x, however trying to install kmod-bnx2x straight out tries to install the newest release of the package which fails
Steps to Reproduce:
Successful install of kmod-cnic:

Additional info:

Hello,
The kmod-bnx2x and kmod-cnic are part of the Driver Update Program. These two packages:
kmod-cnic-2.5.10.32.269-1.el6_2.x86_64 (@rhel6.7-x86_64)
kmod-bnx2x-1.72.00_0.32.269
have been released during RHEL-6.2 lifecycle to support a new version of bnx2x cards. Those drivers have been included in a RHEL-6.3 GA kernel directly, so with RHEL-6.3 GA those should have been uninstalled.
With RHEL-6.7 GA another version of kmod-bnx2x was released:
https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/rhel---6/x86_64/168/kmod-bnx2x/1.712.30_0-1.el6_7/x86_64/fd431d51/package
This package does not require kmod-cnic to be installed.
This 6.7 kmod-bnx2x release was solely to support following devices:
HPE Synergy 3820C 10/20Gb Converged Network Adapter
57840s (Kilimanjaro)
VID – 14E4h
DID – 16A2h
SVID – 103ch
SDID – 2231h
If the customer system doesn't have the device listed above it's absolutely safe to uninstall both kmod-bnx2x and kmod-cnic on RHEL-6.7.
That said, closing this bug. Feel free to re-open. Thanks!
