LSF Version 7.3 - Administering Platform LSF

Administering Platform LSF 225
Cluster Version Management and Patching on UNIX and Linux
Installing fixes on UNIX and Linux
To install fixes or fix packs to update the cluster.
1 To patch the reporting database, download the corresponding database update
scripts and update the database schema first.
2 Download the patches from Platform. If hosts in your cluster have multiple
binary types, you may require multiple distribution files to patch the entire
cluster.
Put the distribution files on any host.
For example,
//HostB/downloads/pkg1
//HostB/downloads/pkg2
3 Log on to a host in the cluster.
4 Set your environment (if you cannot do this, prepare a configuration file and
use the
-f option in the pversions and patchinstall commands).
source LSF_TOP/conf/cshrc.lsf (for csh or tcsh)
. LSF_TOP/conf/profile.lsf (for sh, ksh, or bash)
5 Run the patch installer tool and specify the patches to install.
For example,
LSF_TOP/7.0/install/patchinstall //HostB/downloads/pkg1
//HostB/downloads/pkg2
Let the patch installer finish.
6 If you were prompted to do so, restart the cluster.
Patches that affect running daemons require you to restart manually.
7 Optional. Run
LSF_TOP/7.0/install/pversions to determine the state of
the cluster.
8 Optional. If you were prompted to restart the cluster and have done so, you can
free some space by deleting the contents of
backup directories under EGO and
LSF installation directories.
Rolling back patches on UNIX and Linux
To remove patches that you installed using patchinstall, and return the cluster to
a previous state.
1 Log on to a host in the cluster.
2 Set your environment (if you cannot, prepare a configuration file and use
-f
option in
pversions and patchinstall commands).
source LSF_TOP/conf/cshrc.lsf (for csh or tcsh)
. LSF_TOP/conf/profile.lsf (for sh, ksh, or bash)
