Patch Installation Instructions: 

--------------------------------
 
For Solaris 2.0-2.6 releases, refer to the Install.info file and/or the
README within the patch for instructions on using the generic 'installpatch'
and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with each patch.
 
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.

Special Install Instructions: 

-----------------------------
 
   Important note if Sun Grid Engine has been installed with openSSL support
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   If Sun Grid Engine has been installed with openSSL support ("CSP mode")
   prior to SGEEE 5.3p3 (which was linked with openSSL 0.9.6.c), the
   certificates which have been installed with these versions are
   incompatible with certificates installed with SGEEE 5.3p4 or later. All
   such certificates will need to be recreated after installing this patch
   and before restarting Sun Grid Engine. Please refer to the Sun Grid  
   Engine Administration and User Manual for how to create new certificates
   with the utiliy script "sge_ca", which comes with the distribution.
 
   The reason for the incompatibility is a changed field name between
   openSSL version 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 in the certificates, where
   "uniqueIdentifier" has been renamed to "userId".
 
   Patch Installation
   -------------------
 
   These installation instructions assume that you are running a homogenous
   Sun Grid Engine, Enterprise Edition cluster where all hosts share the
   same directory for the binaries. If you are running Sun Grid Engine,
   Enterprise Edition in a heterogenous environment (mix of 32-bit and
   64-bit binaries for Solaris and/or other operating systems) it is only
   necessary to shutdown the daemons for the architecture for which the
   patch is applied. If you installed the binaries on a local partition, you
   only need to stop the SGEEE daemons for that host on which you are
   installing the patch.
 
   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).
 
   In no case it is supported to 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 Sun Grid Engine, Enterprise Edition 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.sge53
      # cp -p <arch>/sge_shepherd.sge53 <arch>/sge_shepherd
 
   It is important that the binary is first moved and then copied back to
   the original location using the "-p" switch of the cp command.
 
 
   Shutting down Sun Grid Engine, Enterprise Edition qmaster and scheduler
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   You need to shutdown (and restart) the qmaster and scheduler daemon and
   all execution daemons on all SGEEE hosts.
 
   Shutdown all your execution hosts. Login to all your execution hosts and 
   stop the 'sge_execd' and 'sge_commd':
 
      # /etc/init.d/rcsge stop
 
   Then login to your qmaster machine and stop 'sge_qmaster', 'sge_schedd', 
   'sge_commd' and if the machine is also an execution host 'sge_execd'
 
      # /etc/init.d/rcsge stop
 
   Now verify with the 'ps' command that all Sun Grid Engine, Enterprise
   Edition daemons on all hosts are stopped. If you decided to rename the
   shepherd binary that running patch job continue to run during the patch
   installation you may not kill the 'sge_shepherd' binary.
 
 
   Installing the patch and restarting Sun Grid Engine, Enterprise Edition
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   Now please install the patch with 'patchadd'.
 
   After installing the patch you need to restart your SGEEE cluster. Please
   login to your qmaster machine and enter:
 
      # /etc/init.d/rcsge
 
   Now you should repeat this step on all your execution hosts.
 
   After restarting SGEEE 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.
