3.7.0 HP StorageWorks HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software installation guide HP Scalable NAS for Linux (AG513-96004, October 2009)

there may be cases where you must extract the HP Scalable NAS kernel patches so
they can be integrated into your custom build environment.
To begin, open the architecture-independent kernel source RPM:
mkdir tmp
rpm2cpio kernel-source-2.6.16.60–0.21.370.<xxxx>.src.rpm | (cd tmp; cpio -id)
The HP Scalable NAS patches are all in tmp/patches.hpps.tar.bz2. When
you integrate the patches into your kernel build source, be sure to add their names
to the series.conf file.
hppsversion.patch should generally be omitted if the HP Scalable NAS patches
are being integrated into a custom kernel configuration not defined by HP. You may
need to override the mxmodver utility and manually select the appropriate
(pre-configured, pre-compiled) version of the pmxs kernel modules before starting HP
Scalable NAS on the new kernel.
Rebuild the entire kernel from source
The entire kernel (and all HP Scalable NAS installable kernel RPMs) can be
reconstructed from the architecture-independent kernel source RPM. However, the
architecture-dependent kernel source RPM is a much faster way to get a full kernel
source tree. Take these steps:
1. Install the architecture-dependent kernel source RPM:
rpm -i kernel-source-2.6.16.60-0.21.370.<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm
This step places the kernel source tree in the following location:
/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.60-0.21.370.<xxxx>.<arch>
2. Rebuild the kernel using the standard Linux kernel configuration and build
process. You will probably want to run the following command in the newly
populated kernel source tree immediately after setting up a kernel configuration:
make scripts prepare
For reference, the HP Scalable NAS kernel configurations can be found in the
/usr/src/linux-kfulvers-obj/arch.
