Issue/Introduction
The Linux Kernel was just upgraded and you need to know if the CSP or DCS agent that is installed must be re-installed to support it.
Cause
After upgrading the Linux kernel, the sisips module does not load correctly.
Resolution
If the version of the kernel that was upgraded to is supported by the currently installed agent, you can just restart the system. The agent will load the correct driver upon restart.
To verify the kernel version of the drivers loaded, run the command below:
sh /etc/init.d/sisips.init which
If the version of the kernel that was upgraded to is not supported by the currently installed agent, you must uninstall it and install a newer version of the agent which supports the version of the kernel it was upgraded to.
If the new kernel version is supported by the existing agent but requires a new compatible kernel module to be installed, install the kmod (preferably before the kernel upgrade) & reboot the agent system.
