Installing the InfiniBand Software Stack
The OFED InfiniBand software stack is available in the HPC software suite, created
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 systems. The HPC software is delivered as an
.iso
image. You can burn this image to a CD or DVD, or extract the files from within the
image. In addition to many software applications, the HPC software image contains
linux
.rpm
packages which are required to setting up and manage the InfiniBand
fabric. These
.rpm
files are found in the
/SunHPC
directory of the
.iso
image.
