Upgrade Procedure:

Upgrading installed OFED packages from openfabrics.org 
-----------------------------------------------------

If you have already installed OFED packages from the openfabrics.org
site, you need to uninstall them as the packages provided here are
essentially a rebuild of the OFED packages for Oracle Enterprise Linux and are 
meant to install on top of a "vanilla" Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.1/5.2, so 
both sets cannot be installed at the same time (there will be duplicates that 
cause conflicts). The OFED tarball from openfabrics.org should have installed 
an uninstall shell script as 

  /usr/sbin/ofed_uninstall.sh.  

Run this to uninstall the packages and then follow step 2 to 5 under 
installation procedure
