Check for Missing Files or RPMs
Run the rpm command with the --verify option to check if there are files
missing from the RPMs. For example:
$ rpm -a --verify ’InfiniPath-MPI/mpi*’ ’InfiniPath/infinipath*’
In the case of OpenFabrics RPMs, the verification command is slightly different,
since these RPMs have many different prefixes:
$ rpm --verify rpm_name_pre
rpm_name_pre is the descriptive name that precedes the version and repository
identifiers in an RPM. For example:
$ rpm --verify libibverbs
This command verifies the contents of:
libibverbs-2.2-xxx.1_1.yyy.x86_64.rpm
The rpm command cannot check for missing RPMs. Use ipath_checkout after
installation to flag missing RPMs. See “Adapter Settings” on page 5-30 for more
information.
NOTE:
The files can be downloaded to any directory. The install process will create
and install the files in the correct directories. The locations of the directories
after installation are listed in “Installed Layout” on page 5-9.
