 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Try this: yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=base install vdo kmod-kvdo — Overmind, Jul 01 '20 at 08:47
Then you could try to install/update kernel(dm_put_device) linux packages and then get the official rpm (like this one: https://centos.pkgs.org/7/centos-x86_64/kmod-kvdo-6.1.3.7-5.el7.x86_64.rpm.html ) — Overmind, Jul 01 '20 at 10:40
@Overmind what is dm_put_device anyway. why it does not show the version? — Mehdi Azizi, Jul 01 '20 at 10:46

VDO and in particular its kernel module are built specifically for the associated RHEL/CentOS kernels. Your server, however, has OpenVZ, which uses a custom kernel. At this time using VDO with a custom kernel is not supported.

In order to install this, you would need to obtain the source RPM for kmod-kvdo and then rebuild the RPM against the particular vzkernel you want it to work with. And probably you'd need to customize it too, as it would expect a kernel rather than a vzkernel. You would need to repeat this process for every kernel update.

Thanks. Do I need vdo for Virtualization? When I create a new VM i get error: unknow input device type virtio1.0-input. is this related to vdo? – Mehdi Azizi Jul 01 '20 at 17:51
@MehdiAzizi That is completely irrelevant to VDO. – Michael Hampton Jul 01 '20 at 17:51
Thanks. Do you know what should I do? or I should create a new question for that? – Mehdi Azizi Jul 01 '20 at 17:53
You should ask a new question about that. – Michael Hampton Jul 01 '20 at 17:53
I uninstalled vdo and kmod-kvdo and so far I have no problem. I thought it was necessary for KVM. Is this vdo needed for OpenVz or it's not. I don't know How it has been installed on my system. – Mehdi Azizi Jul 04 '20 at 18:14

Looks like a bug in yum preventing from installation and moreover it may not work due to compatibility issues. Looking for workaround.
