We will be discussing on how to install and configure virtualization in detail. Lets prepare CentOS Minimal server to host virtual machines that is accessible over HTTP by installing following packages. Install VirtualBox prerequisite packages # yum install gcc make glibc kernel-headers kernel-devel dkms Install VirtualBox.
Quick not note for those not familiar with the CentOS 7 peculiarity and especially the repository peculiarity.
Receiving the follwoing error:
BeeGFS DKMS Client Setup¶. The beegfs-client-dkms package allows building the client kernel module using the DKMS infrastructure. To avoid breaking existing workflows and deployment tools that may be in use on some sites, both beegfs-client and beegfs-client-dkms packages are provided. They are mutually exclusive and only one of them can be installed on a system at any given time. I am running now NVIDIA card, simply dont install dkms if that is the case, you will still get the driver regardless But if you are desperate, check the headers match your kernel version. Sometimes, when the header is not install along with your kernel, then you do install it at latter time, the system will offer a header that is not match with. Quick not note for those not familiar with the CentOS 7 peculiarity and especially the repository peculiarity. Receiving the follwoing error:- Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: 3:kmod-nvidia-latest-dkms-418.87.00-2.el7.x8664 (cuda) Requires: dkms You could try using -skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va -nofiles -nodigest. DKMS is in RPMForge, so we need to add that before we can install it via Yum. Cd /root/ wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.
It means you need a package (or meta-package, which might pull multiple packages and dependencies offering a big framework, for example), which could not be found in the existing repositories. In this very case, we need the DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support
The DKMS is offered in epel repository and it could not be found in the CentOS 7 official repositories. Just add the epel repository.

And rerun your first install yum line. Now you won’t receive the DKMS error.
I am installing some software on a CentOS 6.0 system. I am very new to Linux.The installation instructions for the software I am adding to my system recommend that I install DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) before I install the software. Is this actually not needed on a CentOS system because CentOS already uses the RPM (Red Hat Package Management) system with Yum as a front end to it? Or is using DKMS still a good idea because parts of this software i am installing will be building and upgrading kernel modules?
Finally, when I issue the command 'yum install dkms', I get 'No package dkms available. Error: Nothing to do.' I thought that maybe I was getting that error because I was not yet configured to use the Yum server, but when I look in /etc/yum.repos.d, I can see the three files CentOS-Base.repo, CentOS-Debuginfo.repo, and CentOS-Media.repo, so I think it is all set up. Is it possible that in order to get the DKMS application, I will first need to set up a fourth repository?
SUMMARY OF QUESTIONS
Because CentOS already has RPM, is it unnecessary for me to install DKMS? (Remember that I want to have kernel update support.)
Install Virtualbox On Centos 7 Minimal
Even if it is unnecessary for me to install DKMS, I was having trouble trying to install it, so how do I get this to install? Do I need to set up some other repositories?
