Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
tar.gz Patch Installation:
--------------------------
 
   See the patch installation instructions below before installing this
   patch!
 
   Patches in 'tar.gz' format cannot be installed with 'patchadd' on Solaris
   systems. The patch is installed by unpacking the 'tar.gz' file(s) in this
   directory in &lt;install_dir&gt;. &lt;install_dir&gt; is usually your &lt;sge_root&gt;
   directory. The installation of this patch later is not visible with the
   "showrev -p" command on Solaris.
 
   This patch cannot be backed out. You may want to make a backup copy of the
   files  before installing this patch since the files will be overwritten.
 
   Please read "Install Instructions" later in this file and carry out all
   steps before you unpack the 'tar.gz' file(s) included in this patch.
 
   This patch in 'tar.gz' format should not be installed if the original
   package has been installed with 'pkgadd' on Solaris. If the original 
   installation used packages ('pkgadd') utility, install the available 
   patches for N1 Grid Engine 6; refer to the patch matrix below.
 
   The patch is installed by user root by unpacking the file(s) in the
   directory where the original package has been installed:
 
      # cd &lt;install_dir&gt;
      # gzip -dc &lt;patchid&gt;/&lt;targzfile&gt; | tar xvpf -
 
   After installing the patch, you should correct the file permissions if
   your Sun Grid Engine installation is installed as an "admin user" system:
 
      # cd &lt;sge_root&gt;
      # util/setfileperm.sh &lt;sge_root&gt;
 
 
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 6 (N1GE 6.0u6). The "-help" output of most commands will
   print a version string "N1GE 6.0u6" after applying the patch.
 
   All packages of a N1 Grid Engine 6 distribution must have the same patch
   level (exception for ARCo - see requirements for ARCo in the ARCo patches
   README's). Please refer to the patch matrix below which updates the
   distribution to most recent patch level.
 
   It is not supported and possible to mix different patch levels of
   binaries and the "common" package in a single N1 Grid Engine cluster.

Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
   NOTE: This patch requires that you update your Berkeley DB database files
         if you are upgrading from N1GE 6.0u1 or 6.0.  Please read the full
         notes when applying this patch.
 
   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 should 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 to 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 so 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 &lt;arch&gt;/sge_shepherd &lt;arch&gt;/sge_shepherd.sge60
 
   It is important that the binary is moved with the "mv" command. It should
   not be copied because this could cause the crash of an active shepherd
   process which is currently 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
   ------------------------------------------------
 
   Now install the patch by installing the patch with "patchadd" or by
   unpacking the 'tar.gz' files included in this patch as outlined above.
 
 
      Berkeley DB database update needed
      ----------------------------------
 
      NOTE: This update is not needed if you already installed N1GE 6.0u3 or
      higher. The update is only needed if you are upgrading from N1GE 6.0u1
      or earlier.
 
      After installing this patch, and before restarting your cluster you need
      to update your Berkeley DB (BDB) database in the following cases:
 
         - you choose the BDB spooling option (not needed for classic spooling)
           either locally or with the BDB RPC option, and you are upgrading
           your cluster for N1 Grid Engine 6.0 or 6.0u1 to N1 Grid Engine
           6.0u2 or higher
 
      1. For safety reasons, please make a full backup of your existing
         configuration. To perform a backup use this command
 
            % inst_sge -bup
 
      2. Upgrade your BDB database. This is done as follows:
 
           % inst_sge -updatedb
 
      Restarting the software
      -----------------------
 
      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 which where running prior the patch
      installation have finished.
 
 
   New functionality delivered since N1GE 6.0
   -------------------------------------------
 
   1. Avoid setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH; inherited job environment
   --------------------------------------------------------------
 
   There are two new "execd_params" (defined in the global or local cluster
   configuration) which control the environment inherited by a job:
 
      SET_LIB_PATH
      INHERIT_ENV
 
   By default, SET_LIB_PATH is false and INHERIT_ENV is true.  If
   SET_LIB_PATH is true and INHERIT_ENV is true, each job will inherit the
   environment of the shell that started the execd, with the N1GE lib
   directory prepended to the lib path.  If SET_LIB_PATH is true and
   INHERIT_ENV is false, the environment of the shell that started the execd
   will not be inherited by jobs, and the lib path will contain only the
   N1GE lib directory.  If SET_LIB_PATH is false and INHERIT_ENV is true,
   each job will inherit the environment of the shell that started the execd
   with no additional changes to the lib path.  If SET_LIB_PATH is false and
   INHERIT_ENV is false, the environment of the shell that started the execd
   will not be inherited by jobs, and the lib path will be empty. 
   Environment variables which are normally overwritten by the shepherd,
   such as PATH or LOGNAME, are unaffected by these new parameters.
 
  2. DRMAA Java[TM] language binding delivered with this patch
  ------------------------------------------------------------
 
  The DRMAA Java language binding is now available. The DRMAA Java language
  binding library and documentation is contained in the patch for the
  "common" package.
 
  3. New qstat options to optimize memory overhead and speed of qstat
  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   The qstat client command has been enhanced to reduce the overall amount
   of memory which is requested from the qmaster. To enable these changes it
   is necessary to change the qstat default behavior. This is possible by
   defining a cluster-global or user-specific sge_qstat file. More
   information can be found in sge_qstat(5) manual page. In addition two new
   qstat options ("-u" and "-s") have been introduced to be used with the
   sge_qstat default file. Find more information in qstat(1).
 
  4. Tuning parameter for sharetree spooling
  ------------------------------------------
 
  A new "qmaster_param" (configured in the global cluster configuration):
 
     STREE_SPOOL_INTERVAL=&lt;time&gt;
 
  can be configured to control the interval for how often the sharetree
  usage is spooled. The interval can be set to any time in the following
  formats:
 
       HH:MM:SS or 
       &lt;int&gt;
 
   E.g.:
 
      STREE_SPOOL_INTERVAL=0:05:00
      STREE_SPOOL_INTERVAL=300
 
   This parameter is a tuning parameter only. It has the biggest effect on a
   system using classic spooling and bigger sharetrees and a slow
   filesystem.
 
  5. New "qconf -purge" option
  ----------------------------
 
  "qconf -purge" deletes all hosts or hostgroups settings from a cluster
   queue. This facilitates the un-installation of host or hostgroups. See
   qstat(1) for more a description how to use this parameter
 
 
  6. Berkeley DB spooling on NFSv4 under Solaris 10 supported
  -----------------------------------------------------------
 
  The Berkeley DB database now can be installed on a NFSv4 mounted
  filesystem on Solaris 10.
 
  For performance reasons it is recommended to use NFSv4 BDB spooling only
  when the NFSv4 mount provides an excellent high speed connection to the
  file server.
 
  7. Execd installation in Solaris 10 zones supported
  ---------------------------------------------------
 
  The execution daemon installation in Solaris 10 zones is supported. If an
  execution daemons is installed in the global zone and in local zones you
  need to ensure that the additional group id range (-&gt; "gid_range" in
  cluster configuration) from the global zone and the local zones does not
  overlap. Local zones may use the same additional group id range in the
  same host.
 
  8. Faster execution daemon reconnect in CSP mode

  integrated in the communication library layer. The allows a faster
  reconnect of execution daemons after qmaster or execution daemon restart.
