software package supporting InfiniBand and iWARP fabrics. It is composed
of several software modules intended for use on a computer cluster
constructed as an InfiniBand subnet or an iWARP network.

(perhaps on a shared file system such as NFS). The resulting RPMs,

"backported" to your kernel).
o The raw package (un-backported) source files are placed under
- <prefix>/src/ofa_kernel-1.4
+ <prefix>/src/ofa_kernel-1.4.1
o The script "openibd" is installed under /etc/init.d/. This script can
be used to load and unload the software stack.
o The directory /etc/infiniband is created with the files "info" and
OFED documentation is located in the ofed-docs RPM. After
installation the documents are located under the directory:
-/usr/share/doc/ofed-docs-1.4 for RedHat
