Removing Software Packages
This section provides instructions for uninstalling or downgrading the InfiniPath
and OpenFabrics software.
Uninstalling InfiniPath and OpenFabrics RPMs
To uninstall the InfiniPath software packages on any node, type the following
command (as root) using a
bash shell:
# rpm -e $(rpm -qa ’InfiniPath-MPI/mpi*’ ’InfiniPath/infinipath*’)
This command uninstalls the InfiniPath and MPI software RPMs on that node.
To uninstall the OpenFabrics software packages on any node, type the following
command (as root) using a
bash shell:
# rpm -e rpm_name_pre
rpm_name_pre is the descriptive name that precedes the version and repository
identifiers in an RPM. For example:
# rpm -e libibverbs
This command uninstalls libibverbs-2.2-*.rpm on that node.
For both InfiniPath and OpenFabrics, QLogic recommends that you remove all the
packages at the same time.
For a list of OpenFabrics RPMs, see “OpenFabrics RPMs” on page C-4.
Uninstalling OFED 1.3 Software
Use the script ofed_uninstall.sh to uninstall the OFED software that was
installed from the OFED 1.3 tarball.
Downgrading RPMs
If you want to downgrade, remove both the InfiniPath and OpenFabrics RPMs,
then install the older bits. QLogic has determined that rpm flags like
"
--oldpackage" will not generate a correct downgrade.
