Updating to VDT 1.10.1b

If you installed VDT 1.10.1 after VDT 1.10.1b was released on 2008-05-29, you do not need to do any of these update operations because you will have 1.10.1b.

The best way to do the update is to update the individual packages that have changed. To be clear, we do not recommend using pacman -update without specifying specific package names. Also note that you only need to update packages if you installed them. You can see what packages have been installed with: 

pacman -lc

Common update directions

Before you do the update directions that follow, please run the following commands. They apply for all of the updates. 

cd $VDT_LOCATION
. setup.sh
vdt-control --off
cp -pr $VDT_LOCATION BACKUP-LOCATION

The copy command makes a complete backup of your VDT installation, in case something goes wrong. Do not skip this step!

1. Updating Gratia-Reporting and Gratia-Services

2. Updating Gratia Probes

You just need to update the Gratia Probes that you have installed. If you are running an OSG site, you probably have one for your batch system and the "Metric" probe. Select the commands below that apply to the probes you have installed:

pacman -update Gratia-Condor-Probe
pacman -update Gratia-LSF-Probe
pacman -update Gratia-PBS-Probe

# OSG sites probably need the Metric probe updated (for RSV)
pacman -update Gratia-Metric-Probe

# The glexec probe is only if you use glexec
pacman -update Gratia-Glexec-Probe
