You are missing the DKMS package. Please try the following:

Code: Select all

wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm -O ~/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
rpm –i ~/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
yum update –y
yum install dkms –y

Above commands is for RHEL/OEL/CentOS distros, clearly not for SLES11SP4 release. There is no yum in SLES11 anymore, zypper only. Please do not confuse customer.

Basically he has to get the DKMS package. I can't find a repo for SP4 directly however the package seems available via http://software.opensuse.org/download.h ... ckage=dkms

So the following should be possible:

Code: Select all

zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:aevseev/SLE-11/home:aevseev.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install dkms

Hello

installation of dkms is not possible:

Code: Select all

dehelin2:~ # zypper install dkms
Refreshing service 'nu_novell_com'.
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: nothing provides kernel-devel needed by dkms-2.2.0.3-8.2.noarch
 Solution 1: do not install dkms-2.2.0.3-8.2.noarch
 Solution 2: break dkms-2.2.0.3-8.2.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies
So that is very annoying.

Is no preconfigured rpm for SLES 11 available?

Hi,

I guess the package should be named kernel-default-devel, so please try to run the following:

Code: Select all

zypper install kernel-default-devel
After that please run this command to install dkms without dependecies:

Code: Select all

zypper -n install --force dkms
and try to install veeam package again:

Code: Select all

zypper install veeam
If anything goes wrong please run the following command and post its output:

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep kernel
Thank you

I wrote an internal howto on installing VAL on SLES, and in my case I also installed it on SLES 11 SP4 (it was actually OES 2015 SP1 but uses that version of SLES underneath). The kernel-default-devel package is likely already installed. But the dkms installation doesn't understand it because for whatever reason (even when installed from a SLES repo) it still looks specifically for kernel-devel. So when installing dkms, simply select Solution 2 (ignore dependencies). Or install it with the --force switch as mentioned. It will install fine and should work without issue.

Also a quick heads up, you'll need to edit /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported-modules and set allow_unsupported_modules to 1.

Joe
