RHEL6.3 x86_64 and weak module vmw_pvscsi.ko from repo

Hi all,

we are running EL6.3 fully updated with paravirtualized network vmxnet3 and scsi vmw_pvscsi.

The kernel included vmxnet3 is newer than what is available from vmware repo:

1.1.18.0-k vs 1.0.47.0

But this does not apply to pv scsi drivers:

1.0.1.0-k vs 1.0.2.0

I followed the "VMware Tools Installation Guide For Operating System Specific Packages" pdf,

have installed

kmod-vmware-tools-pvscsi-1.0.2.0-2.6.32.71.el6.x86_64.3.x86_64

and added the file

# cat /etc/depmod.d/vmw_pvscsi.conf

override vmw_pvscsi * extra/vmware-tools-pvscsi

I have rebuild initrd:

mkinitrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-279.5.1.el6.x86_64.img 2.6.32-279.5.1.el6.x86_64 --force

But after reboot it is still the old driver.

What steps am I missing?

Thx
