Upgrade License Scheduler

You must have License Scheduler installed before you can upgrade. You must be a cluster administrator.

You can upgrade to a new version of License Scheduler without uninstalling and re-installing.

  1. Download the new version of the License Scheduler distribution tar files from the ftp site.
  2. Get a license for the upgraded version of License Scheduler.
  3. Deactivate all queues.

    This pends any running jobs and prevents new jobs from being dispatched.

    badmin qinact all

  4. If you have the Platform Aplication Center installed, shut it down.

    pmcadmin stop

  5. Back up your existing LSF_CONFDIR, LSB_CONFDIR, and LSB_SHAREDIR according to the procedures at your site.
  6. Use the setup script to upgrade License Scheduler.
    1. Source cshrc.lsf or profile.lsf in old LSF cluster.
    2. Navigate to the location of your tar files and extract.
    3. Run the setup script.
  7. Start License Scheduler.
    1. Source cshrc.lsf or profile.lsf.
    2. Run lsadmin reconfig.
    3. Run ps -ef to make sure the bld is running on the candidate hosts.
    4. Run badmin mbdrestart.
    5. Activate the queues.

      badmin qact all

  8. If you have the Platform Application Center installed, restart it.

    Note:

    Platform Application Center version 8.0.1 and later displays License Scheduler workload for both project mode and cluster mode.
