Hello Clinton,
I was not able to load scini.ko module on default 14.04 kernel version 3.13, so I followed your instructions: the module is loaded now, scini service is running on all nodes but I can't see any SDC nodes in my GUI dashboard. Anything else I should know about?

@moss2k13 You could try reloading the module again. The MDM_IP settings are critical to ensure that it initializes against the MDM's and associates the SDC's.

Hello, I found this post online I'm going over the same process and unfortunately was unable to install ScaleIO 2.0.1 SDC on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

Here is the Kernel Installed
Linux ciosds06 4.4.0-47-generic #68-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 26 19:39:52 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Looking at the syslog output, we saw messages saying the scini.ko could not be inserted due to incompatible kernel, and also incompatible parameters

Please could you help us to provide any insight what could be happening?

Thank you!

Thank you, and never mind we were able to fix this by installing the matching linux-image + header and rebooting the server
