To install an update release to the cluster.
About this task
Important: For LSF 7 and LSF 7 Update
1, you cannot use the steps in this chapter. You must follow
the steps in “Migrating to LSF Version 9.1 on
UNIX and Linux” to manually migrate your cluster to LSF9.1.
Procedure
- Download and extract the new version of lsfinstall.
For example,
zcat lsf9.1_lsfinstall.tar.Z
| tar xvf -
- 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.
- Download the patches and put the distribution files in
the same directory as lsfinstall.
If
hosts in your cluster have multiple binary types, you may require
multiple distribution files to patch the entire cluster.
- Run the new LSF installer.
For example,
lsfinstall
-f install.config
Specify
the patches to install and let the installer finish.
- Restart the cluster.
This makes changes to
daemons take effect.
- Optional. Run pversions to determine
the state of the cluster.
- Optional. Free some space by deleting the contents of backup directories
under EGO and LSF installation directories.
