Hi Or,
OFED installation scripts uninstalls all OFED related packages coming with Linux Distribution.
If you uninstall OFED then you need to use standard tools (yum , zypper,...) to reinstall RPMs coming with Linux Distribution.
OFED can't do this job as it does not have original RPMs coming with it.
