Updating the software

If the distribution kernel is updated on any of these head or regular nodes after the vendor OFED stack has been installed, then the vendor OFED kernel modules made available from the Bright Computing repository must be recompiled and reinstalled. This can be done by running the installation scripts again. This replaces the kernel modules, along with all the other OFED packages again.
