systemd-modules-load: Failed to find module 'vmcp'
Issue
- We migrated from RHEL 6.6 to RHEL 7.4.
- In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, the vmcp kernel module is built into the kernel. This ensures that the vmcp device node is always present, and users can send
IBM z/VM hypervisor control program commands without having to load the vmcp kernel module first. - The entry for vmcp was removed from '/etc/modules-load.d/aetna.conf'but the message is still being generated when the platform is rebooted.
