IMPORTANT: For LSF 7 Update 3, you cannot use the steps in this section to update your cluster
from
LSF 7 Update 1 to Update 3. You must follow the steps in “Migrating to LSF Version 7 Update 3
on UNIX and Linux” to manually migrate your LSF 7 cluster to Update 3.
1 If you need to patch the reporting database, download the corresponding
database update scripts and update the database schema first.
2 Download and extract the new version of
lsfinstall.
For example,
zcat lsf7Update3_lsfinstall.tar.Z | tar xvf -
3 Prepare the
install.config file using the new template and information from
your original installation. The new template may have new parameters for you
to set.
4 Download the patches. If hosts in your cluster have multiple binary types, you
may require multiple distribution files to patch the entire cluster. Put the
distribution files in the same directory as
lsfinstall.
5 Run the new LSF installer.
For example,
lsfinstall -f install.config
Specify the patches to install and let the installer finish.
6 Restart the cluster.
This will make changes to daemons take effect.
7 Optional. Run
pversions to determine the state of the cluster.
8 Optional. Free some space by deleting the contents of
backup directories under
EGO and LSF installation directories.
