This section identifies the procedures to build and install Onload from a DKMS package. It uses OpenOnload as an example, but the same procedures apply to any other Onload distributions in this format.
Important: This package format is
deprecated and was removed in Onload 9.0.2. You can
now build a DKMS installation using a Source RPM or Source DEB package, and you should
instead use those package formats.
DKMS packages are available for OpenOnload from version 201811 onwards.
DKMS must be installed on the server. DKMS can be downloaded from http://linux.dell.com/dkms/ or from the OS distribution. To check this run the following command which will return nothing if DKMS is not installed:
# dkms --version
dkms: 2.2.0.3
