Description Brenton Leanhardt 2019-09-04 17:34:55 UTC
Description of problem:

Many customers have been affected by Red HatBug #1648965.  We should add a check for the appropriate kernel version as part of our upgrade preflight checks.  If it's simple enough to add to our install preflight checks we should consider that as well.

Looking at the erratas that shipped that bug fix is appears to be included in the following builds:

7.7:     kernel-3.10.0-1062.el7
7.6 EUS: kernel-3.10.0-957.27.4.el7
7.6:     kernel-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7

Will be submitting an update based on feedback in https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/issues/11883

Comment 3 Weihua Meng 2019-09-10 09:57:52 UTC
need we follow doc or update doc for RHEL version?

Base OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.4 or later with the "Minimal" installation option and the latest packages from the Extras channel, or RHEL Atomic Host 7.4.5 or later.

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.11/install/prerequisites.html#hardware


in code 

      minimum_kernel_version:
        "7.6": "3.10.0-957.27.2.el7"	        "7.6": "3.10.0-957.27.2"
        "7.7": "3.10.0-1062.el7"	        "7.7": "3.10.0-1062"

Actually 3.10.0-1062.1.1.el7.x86_64 > 3.10.0-1062.el7, so it shouldn't fail here.

Comment 5 Weihua Meng 2019-09-11 03:17:29 UTC
Fixed in openshift-ansible-3.11.145-1.git.0.61bc1df.el7

kernel 3.10.0-1062.1.1.el7.x86_64 can be installed without error.


for kernel requirement, can report correctly
