There are several alternative procedures to perform an upgrade of Cray Systems Management (CSM) software. Choose the appropriate procedure from the sections below.
NOTE After CSM 1.7.1, the patch release versions follow a new naming convention (
1.7.1-patch.<patch-number>), starting with 1.7.1-patch.1
After CSM is upgraded from 1.7.0 to CSM 1.7.1, if desiring to enable Fabric Manager on baremetal, then see Slingshot Fabric Manager on baremetal.
These CSM upgrade procedures can be used to perform the following upgrades:
| Starting CSM version | Target CSM version |
|---|---|
| 1.6.x | 1.7.0 |
| 1.6.x | 1.7.1 |
| 1.7.0 | 1.7.1 |
| 1.7.1 | 1.7.1-patch.x |
1.7.1-patch.x |
1.7.1-patch.y (y > x) |
NOTE Upgrading to CSM
1.7.1-patch.xcan only be done only from CSM 1.7.1 or higher.
Before upgrading, review the corresponding release notes.
To perform an upgrade of CSM along with additional HPE Cray EX software products, see the Upgrade CSM and additional products with IUF procedure.
This is the most common procedure to follow, and it should be used when performing an upgrade from one HPC CSM software recipe to another.
To perform an upgrade of only the additional HPE Cray EX software products without simultaneously upgrading CSM itself, see the Install or upgrade additional products with IUF procedure.
To upgrade only CSM, see the Upgrade Only CSM with IUF procedure.
This option applies to CSM-only systems and systems which have additional HPE Cray EX software products installed, as long as those additional products are not also being upgraded. This is an uncommon upgrade scenario.
