Linux distributions of QLogic OFED (InfiniPath and OpenFabrics) software can be 
installed from binary RPMs. RPM is a Linux packaging and installation tool used 
by Red Hat, SUSE, and CentOS. 

The following instructions are for a single node. Parallel command starters can be 
used for installation on multiple nodes. The Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM) 
can also be used for installation. However, these subjects are beyond the scope of 
this document.

RPMs contain config files. The current config files will not be overwritten when 

new RPMs are installed. New config files will contain the suffix .rpmnew and 

can be found in /etc/sysconfig and /etc/infiniband. Check the new files 

to see if there is anything you want to add to your standard config files.
