Hi Adit,
libibverbs1 RPM includes libibverbs so files on SLES:

On SLES15:
# rpm -qlp RPMS/sles-release-15-113.3/x86_64/libibverbs1-17.1-0.x86_64.rpm
/usr/lib64/libibverbs.so.1
/usr/lib64/libibverbs.so.1.1.17.1

On SLES12 SP3
# rpm -qlp RPMS/sles-release-12.3-1.267/x86_64/libibverbs1-17.1-0.x86_64.rpm
/usr/lib64/libibverbs.so.1
/usr/lib64/libibverbs.so.1.1.17.1

The packaging is different between the RedHat and SLES. Each one of them 
support their own RPM spec file.

Vladimir
