Dell Intel PRO Family of Adapters - Manual (Page 106)

DKMS RPMs are provided for supported Linux distributions and are named ixgbevf--
.noarch.rpm
and are specific to the driver version you are using:
l is the driver version number; e.g., 6.2.xy.
l is either "sb_dkms" for packages that contain both source and binaries, or "bo_dkms" for packages that
contain binary-only modules.
The naming convention for the included DKMS RPMs is:
--.noarch.rpm
For example, ixgbevf-x.y.z-sb_dkms.noarch.rpm: ixgbevf is the component name; x.y.z is the component version; and
sb_dkms is the type.
NOTE: If you have a previous RPM installed, it must be uninstalled before installing the new RPM. To determine
whether or not a previous RPM is installed, enter rpm -q ixgbevf.
To install the DKMS RPM, use this command:
rpm -i
To uninstall the RPM, use this command:
rpm -e
Install Using KMP RPM
NOTE: KMP is only supported on SLES11.
The KMP RPMs update existing ixgbevf RPMs currently installed on the system. These updates are provided by SuSE
in the SLES release. If an RPM does not currently exist on the system, the KMP will not install.
The RPMs are provided for supported Linux distributions. The naming convention for the included RPMs is:
intel--..rpm
For example, intel-ixgbevf-1.3.8.6-1.x86_64.rpm: ixgbevf is the component name; 1.3.8.6-1 is the component version;
and x86_64 is the architecture type.
KMP RPMs are provided for supported Linux distributions. The naming convention for the included KMP RPMs is:
intel--kmp--_..rpm
For example, intel-ixgbevf-kmp-default-1.3.8.6_2.6.27.19_5-1.x86_64.rpm: ixgbevf is the component name; default is
the kernel type; 1.3.8.6 is the component version; 2.6.27.19_5-1 is the kernel version; and x86_64 is the architecture
type.
To install the KMP RPM, type the following two commands:
rpm -i
rpm -i
For example, to install the ixgbevf KMP RPM package, type the following:
rpm -i intel-ixgbevf-1.3.8.6-1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i intel-ixgbevf-kmp-default-1.3.8.6_2.6.27.19_5-1.x86_64.rpm
