Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
For Solaris 7, 8, and 9 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions on
using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris. Any other
special or non-generic installation instructions should be described below
as special instructions. The following example installs a patch to a
standalone machine:
 
    example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
    example# patchrm 104945-02
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.
 
See the "Special Install Instructions" section below before installing this
patch.
 
Patch requirements and patch matrix for N1 Grid Engine 6 packages
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 
   The patches below update a N1 Grid Engine 6 distribution to N1 Grid
   Engine 6 Update 1. The "-help" output of most commands will print a
   version string "N1GE 6.0u1" after applying the patch.
 
   All packages of a N1 Grid Engine 6 distribution must have the same patch
   level. Refer to the patch matrix below which updates the distribution to
   most recent patch level. It is not supported to mix different patch levels
   in a single Grid Engine cluster. Also, make sure to update the "common" and
   "arco" packages.

Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
   These installation instructions assume that you are running a homogenous
   N1 Grid Engine cluster (called "the software") where all hosts share the
   same directory for the binaries. If you are running the software in a
   heterogenous environment (mix of different binary architectures), you need
   to apply the patch installation for all binary architectures as well as the
   "common" and "arco" packages. See the patch matrix above for details about
   the available patches.
 
   If you installed the software on local filesystems, you need to install
   all relevant patches on all hosts where you installed the software
   locally.
 
   By default, there may by no running jobs when the patch is installed.
   There may pending batch jobs, but no pending interactive jobs (qrsh,
   qmake, qsh, qtcsh).
 
   It is possible to install the patch with running batch jobs. To avoid a
   failure of the active 'sge_shepherd' binary, it is necessary to move the
   old shepherd binary (and copy it back prior the installation of the
   patch).
 
   You can not install the patch with running interactive jobs, 'qmake' jobs
   or with running parallel jobs which use the tight integration support
   (control_slaves=true in PE configuration is set).
 
   Stopping the N1 Grid Engine cluster to start jobs
   -------------------------------------------------
 
   Disable all queues that no new jobs are started:
 
      # qmod -d '*'
 
   Optional (only needed if there are running jobs which should continue to
   run when the patch is installed):
 
      # cd $SGE_ROOT/bin
      # mv <arch>/sge_shepherd <arch>/sge_shepherd.sge60
 
   It is important that the binary is moved with the "mv" command. It may
   not be copied because this could cause a crash of an active shepherd
   process of a running job when the patch is installed.
 
   Shutting down the N1 Grid Engine qmaster, scheduler and execution daemons
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   You need to shutdown (and restart) the qmaster and scheduler daemon and
   all running execution daemons.
 
   Shutdown all your execution hosts. Login to all your execution hosts and
   stop the execution daemons:
 
      # /etc/init.d/sgeexecd softstop
 
   Then login to your qmaster machine and stop qmaster and scheduler:
 
      # /etc/init.d/sgemaster stop
 
   Now verify with the 'ps' command that all N1 Grid Engine daemons on all
   hosts are stopped. If you decided to rename the 'sge_shepherd' binary
   so that running jobs can continue to run during the patch installation, you
   must not kill the 'sge_shepherd' binary (process).
 
   Installing the patch and restarting the software
   ------------------------------------------------
 
   After installing the patch, you need to restart your cluster. Please login
   to your qmaster machine and execution hosts and enter:
 
      # /etc/init.d/sgemaster
      # /etc/init.d/sgeexecd
 
   After restarting the software, you may again enable your queues:
 
      # qmod -e '*'
 
   If you renamed the shepherd binary, you may safely delete the old binary
   when all jobs finished which where running prior the patch installation.
