How can I rebuild the initramfs on RHEV-H

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

It is not possible to regenerate the initial RAM file system (initramfs) in the same way as in case of standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) as RHEV-H is a read only system. There is a tool called ovirt-node-rebuild-initramfs which is able to regenerated the initramfs.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor (RHEV-H) 3.6 and later
  • Red Hat Virtualization Host (RHV-H) 4.0 and later
