Installing VRS Kernel Module On RHEL

1.Install VRS following the instructions in VRS on RHEL.

2.Enable the EPEL repository:

rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6- 8.noarch.rpm

Note: If the EPEL repository install fails, check https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL for the latest epel‐release package version and location.

3. Install dependencies for DKMS:

yum install dkms

yum install kernel-devel

4. Reboot to pick up correct kernel:

reboot

Note: VRS install will fail if the installed version of kernel‐devel is not the same as the currently running kernel.

5.Verify that the installed version of kernel-develis the same as the currently running kernel:

•To verify which version of kernel-develis installed:

rpm -qa grep kernel-devel

•To verify which kernel is currently running:

uname -r

Note: If you are unable to use the latest kernel, install kernel‐devel packages for your currently running kernel: yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r`

6.Do a yum localinstall of the hp-openvswitch-dkms package.
