Re: RE : Upgrade firmware and how to remove the installed packages?

Q) Please let me know how to upgrade the firmware.

See the web page for the server model for detailed instructions.

Q) After we installed the packages, how to remove it?

If you installed a rpm file, like foo-version.rpm, you can uninstall it by running:

rpm -e foo

The package name should be as listed in rpm -qa

Q) How about ram disk? is it mk_initrd -f -v?

It's mkinird /boot/initrd-filename.img

Like:

mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11.img 2.6.11
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-.img $(uname -r) # for the current kernel version.

Por que hacerlo dificil si es posible hacerlo facil? - Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way?
