If you have an operating system different than RHEL or SLES, or you have installed a ker-
nel that is not supported by default in MLNX_OFED, you can use the
mlnx_add_ker
-
nel_support.sh
script to build MLNX_OFED for your kernel.
The script will automatically build the matching group RPM packages for your kernel so
that you can still install MLNX_OFED via yum.
Please note that the resulting MLNX_OFED repository will contain unsigned RPMs,
therefore, you should set
'gpgcheck=0'
in the repository configuration file.
Step 2.
Install the desired group.
4.1.5.3 Uninstalling Mellanox OFED Using the YUM Tool
