where:
-u
Uninstalls driver RPM packages.

Initial RAM disk options:
--update-initrd
Updates or adds the storage driver (bfa) to initrd. Note that you should only
update the initrd if you are intending to use the boot from SAN feature. If the
storage driver (bfa) is listed under /etc/sysconfig/kernel (SUSE) and
/etc/modprobe.conf (RHEL), RPM installation automatically updates the
initrd.
--add-initrd
Adds the driver to initrd and rebuilds.
--rm-initrd
Removes the driver from initrd and rebuilds.
--force-uninstall Removes all installed drivers (network, storage, and utilities). Reboot may be
required if removal of bna or bfa driver fails.
--snmp
If management utilities containing SNMP files were installed, this installs the
SNMP subagent, drivers, and other utilities.
--snmp-only
If management utilities containing SNMP files were installed, this installs the
SNMP subagent only.
