To install fixes or fix packs to update the cluster.
- Download the patches from Platform and put the distribution files on any host.
For example,
//HostB/downloads/pkg1
//HostB/downloads/pkg2
If hosts in your cluster have multiple binary types, you may require multiple distribution files to patch the entire cluster.
- Log on to a host in the cluster.
- 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)
- Run the patch installer tool and specify the patches to install.
For example,
LSF_TOP/8.0/install/patchinstall //HostB/downloads/pkg1 //HostB/downloads/pkg2
Let the patch installer finish.
- If you were prompted to do so, restart the cluster.
Patches that affect running daemons require you to restart manually.
- Optional. Run LSF_TOP/8.0/install/pversions to determine the state of the cluster.
- 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.
