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 -erpm_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-*.rpmon 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.

Additional Installation Instructions

This section contains instructions for additional and alternative software installation.
