Troubleshooting

When trying to load the cgi administration webpage, I got the following error:

Error: Unable to read config.pl or language strings!!

AOE?

Open a terminal window on the server and verify that aoe is running.

[root@backup ~]# aoe-stat
[root@backup ~]# modprobe aoe
FATAL: Module aoe not found.

Check the message log for aoe events.

[root@backup ~]# cat /var/log/messages | grep aoe

Verify version of linux

[root@backup ~]# uname -a
Linux backup.cvx.com 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL #1 Fri Jul 7 19:24:57 CDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

SOLUTION

The linux kernel has been updated. Therefore, the aoe driver needs to be reinstalled.

Download the aoe driver from Coraid.

Extract

[root@backup backuppc]# tar -xzvf aoe6-30.tar.gz

Install

[root@backup aoe6-30]# make

[root@backup aoe6-30]# make install

Restart
