Upgrading OFED Packages

In this example, access is enabled to the ol6_latest and ol6_UEKR3_latest channels but not to the

ol6_UEK_latest, ol6_playground_latest and ol6_ofed_UEK channels.

You can find more information about installing the software at http://public-yum.oracle.com/, from where

you download a copy of a suitable repository file (http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo).

Note

By default, the ol6_x86_64_UEK_latest channel is enabled and the

ol6_UEKR3_latest channel is disabled in the public-yum-ol6.repo file.

To be able to install the kernel packages for UEK R3, you must enable the

ol6_UEKR3_latest channel. You can disable the ol6_UEK_latest channel.

3.4 Upgrading OFED Packages

If you have enabled the ol6_ofed_UEK channel, you must remove any existing OFED packages for the

32-bit x86 architecture before you can upgrade the remaining OFED packages on your system. You must

also completely remove and reinstall the ibutils packages. The latest version of the ibutils package

no longer depends on an ibutils-libs package as the libraries are now included in ibutils itself.

1. Use the following command to remove any non-upgradable packages for the x86 architecture:

# rpm -e infiniband-diags-1.5.12-5.el6.i686 \

libibcm-1.0.5-3.el6.i686 \

libibcm-devel-1.0.5-3.el6.i686 \

libibmad-1.3.9-1.el6.i686 \

libibmad-devel-1.3.9-1.el6.i686 \

libibumad-1.3.8-1.el6.i686 \

libibumad-devel-1.3.8-1.el6.i686 \

libibverbs-1.1.6-5.el6.i686 \

libibverbs-devel-1.1.6-5.el6.i686 \

libmlx4-1.0.4-1.el6.i686 \

librdmacm-1.0.17-0.git4b5c1aa.el6.i686 \

librdmacm-devel-1.0.17-0.git4b5c1aa.el6.i686 \

opensm-devel-3.3.15-1.el6.i686 \

opensm-libs-3.3.15-1.el6.i686 \

ibacm-devel-1.0.8-0.git7a3adb7.el6.i686

2. Enter the following commands to remove the existing ibutils and ibutils-libs packages and

install the new ibutils package:

# rpm -e ibutils-1.5.7-7.el6.x86_64 \

ibutils-libs-1.5.7-7.el6.x86_64

# yum install ibutils

3.5 Upgrading Your System

After enabling access to the appropriate channels, including ol6_UEKR3_latest, in the Public Yum

repository or ol6_x86_64_UEKR3_latest on ULN, run the following command to upgrade the system to

UEK R3:

# yum update

If you have questions regarding configuring or using yum to install updates, refer to the Oracle Linux

Administrator's Solutions Guide at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/index.html.
